Concealment
by Alison Stormwolf

Come, dark night, with your
Sheltering cloak of shadows
Wrap me firmly in your grip
Merge with the blackness of my thoughts
Cocoon me in the safety of your void

I cannot bear the light's reproach
Exposure of my hidden side
By piercing beams of reality
Let me slip back, safely concealed
A lonely silhouette in the murky depths
A heartbeat in the hollows
Of my stifled screams
