tell me it's only darkness

sounds of darkness -
broken occasionally,
by the owl or auto -
that tender deafening,
wishing our dreams
of over the gentle slope.
endless thoughts, questions.
I can't see you out there,
stumbling with your nervous life.
think of me tonight when
you tell her your secrets.
dream dreams of you and me,
give us the morning and
tell me it's only darkness.
