12 Notes For A Light Song of Light

A light song of light will summon daffodils,
bluebells and strawberries, humming birds;
will summon silver, the shine of sequins,
the gold of rings—and the dreadful luminosity
of everything we had been told to close
our eyes to

In the Bay

the waves surging towards the seashore
not unlike my spirits
.
the seashore embracing the waves
not unlike your arms
.
