light - Blackout Poetry Notes

Song of Light

The inexhaustible
song of light was indefinable
and vaguely recognizable
if I had only heard it in words.

I assure you
your failings in plain light
are
the most ordinary.

It was obvious I was
too intense.
There is just light and dark,
all or nothing.

Grit your teeth.
for in life,
sprouting in the darkness
are bright
petals of light.

I glanced up
and there above me,
in smothering embrace
of the August night
was the moon,
pregnant with light.

Colourless days
make me want the
light in New York.

The roaring
void of the universe
is a lonesome romance
of melted, molten stars
standing in the light.

It is such a notion,
that light might be
an old friend
to me.

Look in silence
at the light
and drink in the ecstasy.

I hope you travel,
I beg you to
go to the light.
