Darkness
dog
breath
with
its coming
back
is
God
:
awake
only in
the
midst
of it
:
rerum
novarum
the progress
of light
across
the working
slum
:
knowing it
the soft
susurration
of
nay-sayers
:
'nevermore'
a raven fills the mouths
of the poor
:
extinct
light douses
a nocturne
:
solstice night —
what does it profit
amid the stars?
:
so
eloquent
drip by drip
the withdrawal
of
sight
