Dark deeper nights


come what may, they come


come towards the fainty1 light


from far afar in the dark, dark night


 


holding breath in their hands


like laying hold of slippery sand


from the dark of the darkest rand2


 


for them it is


no trap on that fainty light


which awaits them deep, deeper in the dark night.


 


that single light against the dark


which prays on breath and bark3


which feeds on so to sustain a spark4


 


in the dark, dark night


no mercy is dripped


no traps left unwind


so one can see the light again


but this time the brighter light


 


 


1: faint; about to lose consciousness


2: a long rocky ridge


3: outer case of life; hard and soft


4: spark of life


*come what may: no matter what happens
