________________________________

Necessary Darks

the womb

unremembered
but unerased

deep sleep

in December deeper sleep

the round-mouthed well

its long pull of water

your shadow

not the sun-thrown one
that dogs you

but this unseemly angel
brazen as a pistol
rude as root
made of hidden felonies
unglove its claw
unmuzzle its teeth
call it out
call it darkling

it is yours
rock it into light

First appeared in Borderland: where worlds arise out of touch, Overture Center for the Arts, Madison, Wisconsin, art installation and poetry reading with Lake Effect Poets, November 5, 2010 and was featured with Thomas Ferrella's photograph (for which the poem was written) in the Wisconsin Biennial – A Juried Show Sponsored by Wisconsin Visual Artists at the Anderson Arts Center in Kenosha, WI, June 26-August 7, 2011
