Darkroom

Summary:

This is part of collection I wrote over a couple weeks hanging out in my art classroom’s darkroom. This is the first poem! It was pretty cool!

Notes:

Capitalization is intentional, not an error.

Work Text:

I didn’t expect much
honestly, I expected a wall
The change was immediate
I felt something

The grief
The anxiety
Tears ready to flow
It just
Paused.

I’ve been missing him
What does the sun think
When where the moon was
is darkness

In here
I don’t have to worry
I finally feel
Not quite nothing
but compared to the pain
the harsh, lurid yellow outside
it’s a deeply blissful something

This mask, Sanguine yet dull
Doesn’t exist in this light
I feel softer
More willing to be seen

The hurt seems so far away, in this world of red & pink
