The rules of light are thus.
It must penetrate the dark
and illuminate the corners,
to dispel the demons of dark
that lurk in crease of wall.

Unless, before light
lies obstruction.
Creating shadow too thick
and deep of black.
Thus blast of light
finds not slight of crack.

Leaving the corners
to hold imagination
within the dense
of absent light.
