Day 18, Sonnet 18

By darkness does the body become clear:

Without the glare of buzzing lights o’erhead

The contours of the flesh comfortably near

And blinded eyes dare not to glare with dread.

For in the dark what’s seen is through the heart

And felt through muscles working with delight

As energy works through each blessed part

The body’s glow is vibrant in the night.

A bath becomes a gentle womb’s embrace

A walk becomes a trust of steady feet

The sound of breath is pure, embalming grace

And skin can feel the warm delight of heat.

Close eyes, halt light and senses thrill the soul

‘Tis blind, indeed, that vision becomes whole.
