the light - POEM

another illustrated poem:

THE LIGHT

'hold them in

the light' they 

say.

today, i hold 

myself.

the sun wants

me 

to live - 

       that is 

                the urgency 

                  in its warmth.

so i place my body

in the pooled 

protection, watching

the shape of 

my window

float across my ankles

as

the day turns three,

and the school children

flee, down my road

reassured by the light.
