One of the star-light lanterns
wavers above the path tonight,
blinking until it shuts
the eye and sleeps (silent).

The sidewalk seems to expand,
each crack becomes a canyon;
the bottom is too far to see,
I will fall right in.

Feeling the way in the dark,
it's all up to the rough hands and
touching against walls of knives
and black pools of oil dew.

Ever since I was a child,
my eyes have hurt -
red lines like garbage,
images littered by others
in the back of my head -
and now I can't see in the night,
dark crowds of all my nightmares
(stalking and following)
surrounding the roads.

I've forgotten how to keep faced forward,
with all this rough terrain and uncharted water,
and that's where the trouble starts;
blind in the night and squinting in the day.
