I am trying
Not to be seen
For in this moment
I feel too small;
I see him draped
In a raven shawl,
Effortlessly being one
With the night sky,
But I, on the contrary,
Feel too out there,
Not blending in
With anything at all!
Should I sleep
Two-thirds of
The year away,
And try once again
In the Fall?
