Darkness - David Byler

the belly of the darkness churns in darkness

the darknesses gather, thick, smothering,
the darknesses are alive with darkness
people gather, not here, somewhere else
coversing.
here is dark dark darknessing
the darknesses are alive with darkness
dark tendrils reaching out, suffocating,
descending.
no sound but the hum of machines
no human voices, no human sounds
the darkness gathers, thick, suffocating,
consuming.
dark darkness, dark dark darknessing
the belly of the darkness churns in darkness
the darknesses are alive with darkness
darknessing.
