the sound and shape of darkness
is the shape and sound of light.
it is the color of D sharp,
the shape of a coin,
the smell of a thought
and the taste of pumpkin pie.
the shape and sound of darkness
is everything simultaneously
and the hint of nothing.
it is the black in the dark
and the dark in the light.
the sound and shape of darkness
is imagination,
that imagination can’t imagine.
an idea lacking thought,
a breeze without wind
the absence of absence
and the presence of absence.
the shape and sound of darkness
is the stillness in movement,
the tone of silence and silence
in the tones — it is.
