Poem: Conversion

I’ve heard rumours now
That when darkness falls
The fallen stay asleep,

And the implements
That supported me
No longer seem much use,

So I’ve analysed
All my alibis
To find the lies within.

I see shadows now
And I hunt alone;
I never feel quite safe.

But I’m glad to find
I can almost breathe:
I have a mouthful of time.
