A way out of the night

It’s not the shadows
nor the sounds in the night
that I fear

and even if I can’t place them
or put a name on it
in my head they write me
a way out of the night
in myself

I dress them
without anxiety with reality
a fixed form, a voice
that I want to recognize

it’s the morning and the light
that feeds my fears
and lets my heartbeat stop

it’s the day that I still
have to conquer.
