The darkness is a circle at the center.
At the center of what.
The darkness is a circle in the center of your chest.
Admire its symmetry, its placement.
The darkness is a circle at the center.
Play three-card monte with the darkness.
It will reappear tucked behind a shoulder blade.
It will reappear in a sinus.
It will reappear behind your right knee.
Palm it and release a thousand beads of darkness.
Feel those beads through your blood.
Blink twice if you’re in danger.
Open your eyes, your eyes are black spheres.
In a glass by the sink, a cup of tears.
Single eyelash on its surface.
Drink up. Give directions to the darkness.
