POEM - A Corner of Night

I named a portion of the night
That remains in the corner
A cipher
Where no light remains

It is a darkened theater
A stage for plays
Adorned richly
Dust and detritus
Attend each performance

Experimental in form
Vulgar and unrefined
A faltering playwright
Must pen these atrocities

They stay in their corner
Works of anonymity
The underlying dialogue
That informs
Constructs and supports
All that is allowed
To see the light

My corner of the night
Dense and rich
Filled in every crack
With backstory
Muttered ramblings
Thoughts and feelings
Knowing glances
And broken hearts

Secured

Detached


Living off the grid
