Go Home to Your Tutor, Darkness

GO HOME TO YOUR TUTOR, DARKNESS


Go home before it gets too light,
If you don’t go home before the dark is gone,
The light will become so bright,
You will be lost in light.
If you stay in the light,
Not go home to a dark, curtained room,
You will never be able to see in daylight,
The blue berry and the black berry bush,
And will overlook the textures of sidewalks.
