Here is one of them:

Dark Feelings about Daylight
By Linda Imbler

For those people never charmed by dawn-to-dark,
who pull the shutters closed.
These lines are written to channel a declaration.
It’s okay
if the taste of sunlight
is bitter for you
or if you can’t find acceptance among the tinny voices.
I’m equally perplexed
about those wildly dependent
on the communion of camaraderie.
Like you,I’m always leaning in the mirror
trying to comprehend why summer’s torch is always blinding.
But I think I never will.
