to close your eyes
- press your eyelids together,
so that one meets the other
wetly.
Lie flat, still
and allow your knees to touch,
for as long as you forget
that they are touching.

The Dark will be with you, staring -
(do you remember your shelves?
     the night will do to you
     what time did your shelves,
     make them quiet,
     until fingers run along them
     again.)

do not be afraid.
Instead, be still,
it will soon be over.

A few hours in
and you will forget about the feelings
of your chest expanding
and your mouth growing dry.

if you open your eyes -
  (take it all in
      the yawning night.
      she is black
      and soft,
      you have plenty of time to get to know her.)

There will be nothing worth seeing,
continue trying.
