In darkness

clair

  I  alone stand; 

the need for perfection a family trait.

myduty done

 

the thought subside 

as the year begins a lonesome treck.

in small doses 

the darkness beckons.

who will hear the cry?

 

she looks but doesn’t ask.

she sees the truth behind my mask

her voice alone is my only comfort

but , the perfection wills me:

heaven at last.
