Night,

What a sweet and supple word....
Standing dark and looming tall.
Flying like a sable shrouded bird
Through a permeable wall.

Strange,

I never saw it as a friend
When I was young and scared....
Hiding from the end,
A fool who better, never, could have fared.

Fitting,

That I should die alone
In a room where I could find naught but a friend,
With whom I had failed to atone.
And so, to my back, they, their daggers lend.
