In the darkness that never once saw a morning
The rays of a black sun
Reminded me of gleam, the shimmer of mother-of-pearl,
And after that froze in the flicker of night.
Dangerously scattering little balls of absurdity
I shine dependably in a candle's flight:
For a black sun knows
Neither white light nor the joy of morning
No one will hear: scream or don't…
