an open window

in the dark

shining moonlight

into the apartment

like a rectangular

entrance into

another world

an escape

out of space

an accidental opening

of the day in the night

oddly geometrical

just the light

of the window

with all else

to the sides

and behind

black nothing

and the light itself

also nothing

except being

other than the dark

and therefore

the clear choice

i step through
