A
tunnel, in which she flitted
like a bat with no more than a candle
and
a breath of wind coming
from somewhere further
along,
where
heart will
explore
in search of.............................................
of
darkness; with limited life; search until
pointlessness.
Second:
a meteorites
tail blazed
across her
face, made
her magnificent.
All
the faces in the auditorium were
bulbs, all switched on,
all magnificent;
and
some cried, and the
tears were seeds of her
light.
Third,
sandy beach: contrary, mix of gleam
and dull
gray; saw edge,
bilingual,
grit between the strings, speckled,
pocked. And
its sharp edge
of
sunlit sea.
Fourth,
the arc of a day. From
cumulus clouds down to the domes
and
spires of the
city, she flew time measured in
the passing of the sun:
the
sharpening and blunting of light. Clouds
here and there interspersed
with
the blueness of infinity, and day, the unit of our lives, lived in
the
sound
she was creating
right there, in
front of us.
