The drain in the floor swallows julienned light

Shelters lightless retreat

Seeking safe passage a Samaritan is needed

/

Dusk tickles a shy dark

Coaxing inhalations and a gentle tease forward

Life is revealed at the edges

/

Light and dark embrace

Ancient lovers caressing, enveloping, merging

Giving birth to a liminal child
