little shavings of light...

“I’ve been scraping

little shavings off my

ration of light

and I formed it into a 

ball, and each time I 

pack a bit more onto it.

I make a bowl of my hands and I

scoop it from its secret cache

under a loose board in the floor

and I blow it across and I send

it to you

against those moments when

the darkness blows under your door.

Isn’t that what friends are for?

Isn’t that what friends are for?”
