Dark
Feelings About Daylight
For
those people never charmed
by
dawn-to-dark,
who
pull the shutters closed.
These
lines are written to channel a declaration.
It’s
okay
if
the taste of sunlight
is
bitter for you
or
if you can’t find acceptance
among
the tinny voices.
I’m
equally perplexed
about
those wildly dependent
on
the communion of camaraderie.
Like
you,
I’m
always leaning in the mirror
trying
to comprehend why summer’s torch
is
always blinding.
But
I think I never will.
Linda Imbler
