Darkness Emboldens (+1)

Arriving

like twilight

the Muse

spreads her veil

 

Where voices

once silent

crawl out

 to assail

 

The enemy

distant

the battle cry

near

 

As darkness

emboldens

what daylight

— enfears

  

(The New Room: January, 2026)

 

 

 

Moments On Fire

 

There is nothing so acrid

— as the smell of time
