.
Sometimes when we look into
each other’s eyes, don’t we see
the darkness not the light? –
.
darkness that embraces form
and swallows it, creates
the metamorphic night? –
.
darkness, where all interest
lies?
I wonder if my mother or my
father or my brother when,
.
as I approached with each
of them their ends, identified
that darkness in my eyes.
.
Or had when I was born.
Had they always known
we’d never be alone, forlorn?
.
Maybe they’d long realized
its size, and why we each
created night when we,
.
half-cunning, breathed our sighs:
little nights we’d ride that
joined
us as our glances met.
.
Maybe we knew everything
already,
dark matter massed invisibly
inside,
the kind infinity and love
beget.
