It is like a great taproot.
I have been there before.
I have suffered the brightness
Of the color red –
It moves a great sea
Inside of me and is not
Welcome in my house of sorrows.
Everything is white and as sterile
As a surgeon’s knife.
The sound of the rain comes
In a fantastical downpour
Of astounded souls.
I wish only for silence and
blackness-
Especially the silence.
