ADJUSTMENT TO THE DARK 

Accustomed, we no longer stagger, 
And we don't hold our hands in front of us 
trying to feel the shapes. 
We are already walking confidently 
through the darkness, along the roads 
which seem to have always been ours, 
and on which we know each one crease, 
salience and direction. 

Darkness can now be touched. 
We grab it; 
darkness is a loose earth, 
humus 
and it rushes through our fingers
