In Light

Lend me a life

I can live in the light.

Lend me a house

That whistles and hums,

Curtains adrift in yellow flight.

In this small and hollow house

The kitchen floor is paved with soil.

In the morning when I wake

Flowers stir as kettles boil.

In this house, windows watch

From every low-lit room.

Across the bay they set their sights,

Intent on sunrise bloom.

Beyond, the mountains test their height

And distant grows a dark blue gloom.

Rapturous sun sets every night

Furrowed brow relaxed and still.

Awash I am in simple light

As it rises at dawn

From sleeping hills.
