By John Swain
YOUR LIGHT WILL BREAK
Then your light will break
the amber hive
upon the tree
across the path
of sky in the flowering vines,
you remain in awakening,
powdered stones shimmer
honeyed to drink
through the beaming water,
light fires around the oil jar,
I tense a canvas sheet
to refuge
the mystery of your solitude,
we unfurl the shelter door,
we watch the burnt sky turn back
into the infinite sun.
John Swain lives in Le Perreux-sur-Marne, France. His most recent chapbook, The Daymark, was published by the Origami Poems Project.
