The night is dark
So dark you could catch the darkness in a bowl
or catch water in a bowl at the bottom of an ocean
The machine roars, a lonely rumble
It cuts through the dark
Disturbing the peace
Here I am, controlling this metal beast
My headlights barely cut through the night
This night is more than I can take
I wish for unsavory eyes
At least someone would be watching me
At least someone could hear, if I screamed
But the only eyes are mine and the moon
The moon a watchful eye over nighttime creatures
However the moon remains closed tonight
invisibly hovering in the sky
The dark engulfs me
I am the absence of light
About the Author
Hi, my name is Oshi. I am a student currently going to Selkirk doing an associative arts degree. I got into writing because I loved making worlds out of thin air and because of my friend who is totally inspiring and writing a novel. I like writing poetry and I’m glad happy that this poem in particular was good enough to get into a form of the Blackbear because I have a soft spot for it.
