The living dark - Poem
Literary Review, Wntr, 2002 by Aonghas MacNeacail
the living dark though it's long since i first met you, darkness you are still a cat to me pervasive, dark and secret you are snake, you are weed i hear your cunning purr pretend to be sheep and the way you slither through the closed door of my eyes your foliage like clouds without light wrapping me, wrapping me in the meagre cell of my own surmise then when i have assumed that my imagination's dumb you release my bogeymen
