-switch-
upon each confining wall may be found insignificant hardware inviting the mystical filament into illumination yet hope wanes despairing in darkness
avoiding sharp corners, stubbing the toes bruising shins oft’ exposed by timid adventures while exhaustion grows climaxing in frustration and fumbling surrender to darkness
candles - a million - one flick away with laughter not drug but symptom familiarity breeds contempt they say when will we tire of shadows and enter new bliss free from darkness?
stubborn, the plastic still aims at the floor though “on” incessantly begs curious cats who dogged persist in killing their own twilight quests to embrace and infect those in darkness
