With Verses Set in Light We Mold Deeper Nights

 

Balance, sway, and grace—that’s

how some of them move—in the way

in which a gentle sea rises and recedes

over the face of earth—again and again

 

or some go about composing a verse

out of images and sounds they write

in light—till it all comes and ebbs

as one while the heavens’ web is cast,

 

and, in those meeting sounds, so close

that they spell a soul for us, to taste

that nectar—bliss—is to kiss, and to kiss

 

is to wind and dance on singing tongues.

And the dark and pitch that grows the depth

and height of night tunes the gaze more radiant.
