here,
among the stark spectres
of what was
or should have been,
dark swallows darkness
and wrenches light like yesterday's rag
til nothing engulfs everything.
here I am
in this tomb-eaten place
with yet enough spirit spark
to find my way
again

You captured that darkness we all know, with a million shades of black & a firefly lands on the canvas.
Love it.

I have no clue
how you always manage to these pieces that are so complex, and yet on the surface 'feel' so simple..I think they call that 'GENIUS'

AQhh just amazing! That ending just weves the whole poem into place and perspective. You are a true word artist
Best wishes in the contest.
