we sit in a circle
where the longest day
is either coming or going
and so therefore is the longest night
we live on a miracle rock
whipping through space
at the most unlikely speed
most people find
that the longest night looms
while the longest day flies
and they cannot see past the dark
to the miracles
but i am a creature of the night
i embrace her
she embraces me
we are old friends
collaborators
we remind the world
that the dark and the terrifying
are all part of the miracle too
darkness begets creation
creation begets fulfillment
yes, i am a creature of the night
and the longest one
holds no fears
instead we walk hand and hand
a team
embracing terror
embracing horror
us creatures of the night
we aren’t afraid of her
no, that would be silly
we are however
extra good at seeing stars
