too dark

i'm eclipsed and have been emitting less light, withholding
radiance, just barely recognizable by the coronal shape of critical

absence, over the distance is silence, through the silence is

distance,

meaning here

meaning now, is refracted

it's over there, it's later on

doubling back on itself so i can't follow it

to my new life,

i'm too dark, too beyond my own control
