The Unwalled Hour

 

The Unwalled Hour

 

What seizes me right now is the light
that splashes onto the wall,
washes it, bleaches it, and 
then diminishes it

also the wall 
between me and dreams 
from last night 
and nights even before

those nocturnal adventures 
alone 
in the hidden realms
sometimes are the soul crafts 
sheltering and healing 
the broken 
in the unreachable 
and still unstoppable darkness crawling 
day and night 

now in the main of light
those remnants 
of dreams and memories 
dissolve into the unwalled hour
