Undarkness

Sonia Nkera, November 4, 2021

This isn’t a poem of darkness

Even I can’t fight my demons with one eye

Today I thought about my angel

Gosh I really hope I have one

Imagine if it has just been me and my demons all this time

Screaming

My Angel plays a never ending game of hide and seek

I didn’t accept to play

But he went off to hide

That’s what I tell myself because I never see him

Sometimes I imagine he’s weeping in the corner

You know, when the demons have me in a choke hold

But this is not about darkness

The demons can have me

I can’t fight squinting through one eye

Yes this is a poem about allergies that have swelled up my entire face

I’m suffering

So I’m allowed to break rules and make up words

It’s all I can manage through one eye

I can pretend that’s why I don’t rhyme

This is a poem of undarkness
