Yes I remember <br />like the scratch <br /> <br />of a match struck <br />in total darkness <br /> <br />& your face <br />flaring up <br /> <br />before fading out <br /> <br />startled the little 'Ouch! ' <br />as it burnt the tips of your fingers <br /> <br />following the red glow <br />as it danced <br /> <br />from your mouth <br />& swayed away <br /> <br />from your mouth <br />& swayed away <br /> <br />until it vanished <br />with a last gasp <br /> <br />the only thing visible <br />now <br /> <br />in this <br />big dark world <br /> <br />the sound of your sobbing.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkness-visible/
