deepening the darker circles

blinded till i fancy a cesspool

PS: I realized from Jim's comment that smartphone readers will find it difficult to read this poem where I have tried to create concrete images of patchwork with words. So for those who read on smartphone, here it is a "normal" version
this moonless night
casting all shadows away
a shaft of light
descends
I raise a toast to
freedom
if you ask me
she is really adept at layering the parlour girl

darling the patchwork quilt
i fold myself in
past pricking present paging past
tell me where is the light i bathe in ?
tell me where is the darkness i creep in ?
