known dark

i know this dark
there is an end       blue       and behind
every shining grey to seaweed on chalk-rock green
no other life       that shows

sun takes tricks in time defeats the negative
throws iridescence
picks-out sticks-to this wavering spine paper skull pinned
suspended       no net       hook       or rescuing rip

off the page i close grit-eyes       reel       onto my inner eye-lids
today's showing of Beings       all
i'm too scared to check on
do i need to be anchored to Earth tonight?
