Penumbra
The night is full of its own.
The night creeps. Sleeps.
The night is colour blind.
It’s transfixed like a piece of wood.
It’s an echo. It dreams.
It’s death. Birth. It’s a blur.
The night is for promises.
The night sips sacred nectar.
The night is its own penumbra.

I enjoyed the poem, and the education…told Dauphy it wasn’t a type of sports bra!
