Dark Room

Take me into a dark room
A room so dark
Darker than the absence of light
Where there’s no sun or moon
But only air to survive
Like an earthworm

A subterranean survival

I shut my eyes tight
So tight, the temples throb
Yet the light passes through
And I can see my veins
Swaying on the tunes of
Carroty carols

The throbbing rises
I wish the hymns stop
And the blackout envelopes
Everything under the sun

And then there will be
No sun
No moon
No light.
