  me          from                              the crumpled

  dark.

Inky bruises punched into the sky by bolts of light
and then leak across the body of tonight.
While rain and thunder drop and roll, 
then stop short of a storm,
leaves the air stuck with this waiting to be born.
As I stand before an unresponsive automatic door, 
just another door that won't open for me anymore?
The exit red gets brighter then blinks off, 
presses me into
the crumpled dark.
