Poem -
Kill The Lights
Will you darken the daylight and
Close me in with endless black?
Shadow my childlike babies face
and pull my skin tightly back?
Will you catch those swarming creeperβs
that etch my face with lines?
Blot out the sun that shows my face
that show the aging signs?
Will you unearth the fountain
That grants the youth I need
Bathe me in its swampy liquor
Revive me like the seed
I can dress myself to youth
Don me with denim and lace
Death is waiting for me
I refuse to go with grace
Sooner than you know it
Iβll be numb and cold
So please kill the lights,
Kill the lights!
Before my young body is old.
