Visions of the Dark / by Ruth Temianka

The vision,
I have of You 
Is not, 
the vision,
I would have wanted
of You.

The dark, 
The dry dread
of the Dark;
The dread, 
of the vision
Darkest you.

It grates, 
Tries, and executes, 
Repeatedly. 
The dark. 

It,
fills space with a face, 
Files Face under darkest vision. 
You bring to me, 
to bring Me down to the Dark
where I execute.
Your face, 
It
Faces
Me. 

Repeatedly, 
I face it.
Your vision.
