Jan-u-wine - Do Not Speak to Me of Fear

Do Not Speak to Me of Fear

- jan-u-wine

you must not
speak
to me of fear…….

not here,
not

now,

not with the dark
lying so tight and
close,
pressing like the bright-coiled
kerchief of a serpent
twined about my neck.

Even though it has all been in vain,
even though it is all for naught,

I must,

I
will

go on……

I am no longer
afraid.

Only…....

please…..

just this last time,

take my hand.

The day-long
Darkness,
draws near.
