Analysis of HETEROCERA
as soon as the shadow nears my feet
reaching me the concealment
of my inner existence
the door to light opens
and sharp beams violently break
my bond with darkness
it is no escape into the night
this scanning for what light hides
sharp neatness
prevents my sight to see
this remote road
it’s not an evil
veiled by day
I want to disclose
my night is just the unseen
floor of certainty
to go there I descend
into unknown depts
no wall of light can prevent
me from trying
but all along the sight is blocked
as day pulls me back
and again the path is insecure
when I set foot on it
I never really touch the shade
that covers my deepest grounds
for just when I think now I’ll find out
again I’m too late to reach it
