So is it the thin
sliver of light, slicing
through the curtain
from the window
of the person confined
in the equally dark house
next door
............that puts
the dread
of the lid
being closed
being closed
over one
into the mind
without a word
being said
across the slender divide
narrowing alley
crack of brightness between
still
solid masses
of trees, converging
of trees, converging
overhead must be
even darker down there
in the shadows someone
absent
who wanted to speak
