Moon cuts

Naively

---

When I walk I shut my eyes
I'm practising for the day
when blindness will come down.

Darkness forgives like chocolate
but ten steps later
my eyes must open
to see if the world is still there.

Daylight flickers and goes out.
Treasure the dark - it won't last.
Tead softly when walking at night
Or blindness will be down upon us all.
