from Blackwater Quartet, selection 92


Seeing You

I was standing just so when the world ended,
landmarks returned to water, a crumble
of clay and ant spit.

I was walking through your head, the years
a clutch of heathen gods,
lit oils.

I have taken the time
to extract the seed heart of light.

Notice, how readily it becomes itself,
first shadow, a shaving of dark grown angular, then
winking brightness.
