Light

I am buried somewhere
Cold cold
And dark
I tuck my body in a fetus position
For warmth and maybe
For protection

But there is no light here
No no no
Light

There might be some if I
Opened my eyes
But for right now
They are shut
Shut tight

Until I am ready to face light
Light there is
Or isn't
My eyes are shut
Shut shut tight
