Communion

Light is a strange friend to shadow.
Both fill needs:
Seeing/Sleep
Warmth//Respite from heat.
Oh, what effects though
from wretched extremes.
When dark pours in
And light bears down
How the skin bursts open-
BREATHE
Truth spills out like tiny red seeds.
Under the shade tree
Sun filters through leaves.
EAT. EAT. EAT.
Careful not to stain the teeth.
Crimson, Crimson,
A cool cup of water.
Drink. DRINK.
