The Diary

Thin lines

Of silence

Are waiting

To be named.

Misunderstood horizons,

Stones, still

Struggle to be read.

There are windows

With no walls.

There is hiding

Even here, alone

In corners or in pages

Of black ash, in pleats

Of dark necessity,

Hiding the last

Of our glass secrets

From the light.

It is a shattering light.
