There used to be tigers
hiding in shadows
in the evening-dark street
ready to get me
in between lamps
on inaudible feet
but if heading home
I broke into a trot
I would make it alright
to the brightly-lit windows
of home that would welcome me
in for the night.
It's no longer tigers
that haunt my way home
and flee from a friendly light /
my knowledge and doubts
take turns in their presence
to question whatever's in sight;
in daylight or darkness
they're always there, hiding
in crannies and nooks in my mind
to appear at the call
of any new sign
that, eyes widely open, I'm blind.
