Today
for now
I sit in my bed for the first time
in a long while
upright
and wrong.
I think of darkness and
candle light
wishing that the sun would go away
because
in this fully- lit electric life
we talk and we talk about
what we are doing.
We talk about our outsides…
For one night, alone or with friends,
prepare dinner ahead
light candles
and see what you say then.
You will find a difference.
You will speak of feelings
You will speak from the inside.
and if you are alone
you will still be heard.
