Nightfall

The early night is dangerous, unless
You close your eyes and let it pass you by;
It pushes at the edges, where you guess,
Cut corners, obfuscate, let problems lie,
Ignore the details, or let them expand
Until the larger picture, never quite
As clear or obvious to understand,
Becomes obscured; that little bit of night
Wants you to answer everything. Take care,
Or it will drag you under, and erase
The boundaries that keep you sane, lay bare
Imagination's bones. I fear to face
Those darkest moments on my own; but then
If they're not faced, they'll just return again.
