what if you open the light?

poetry

dark

thoughts

dark

times

dark

night

of

our

souls

translating Hebrew

to English

got you speaking wonky sometimes

when i was little you’d want me to turn on the light

you’d say in English,

open the light

when you wanted it off you’d say in English,

close the light

it’s been closed for too long now, Emaliah

i want to open it

i can’t find the switch

is there light where you are?

i think i might

have to become the light

is the switch inside of me?

is it inside of us all?

let’s all count to three and agree

to close the darkness once and for all

one

two

three

open the light

Subscriber update:

Hello, my art/poetry/film enjoyer/supporter. As always, I’m over the moon that you’re here. All of your positive emails have been an absolute joy to read. I love publishing this storytelling-art blog and connecting with you all. However, once again, I seem to have a bit off more than I can chew, so from here on out, I’ll send these out once a week instead of twice.

See you Fridays at 11:11 am Pacific Time.
