Song
Lights on the water, the effect of a roiling lake
refracting light, or the light of a dozen votives
flickering their reflections in a soft wind. Because
the window is broken the lights all roll in
the same tint, softly, working in the night
the light of suns, all in harmony calling holy,
holy, holy. A smally enormous tint of light
assembles me in its midst, with a halo of lights
all around my center. To be turned to the front
is to be turned around, and everything is
glass: this is my modest geometry. I only
use the most normal of magic, I see
everything as a sort of breakage
I inevitably inherit, and I’ll
move everything around —
mastery is all around me.
