One need not be a chamber to be haunted.
I am terrified by this dark thing
That sleeps in me;
All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.

unready for the light which dawns
day after day,
eager to be shared.

more of the night before I open
eyes and heart
to illumination. I must still
grow in the dark like a root
not ready, not ready at all.

Of dim and solitary loveliness
I learned the language of another world.
