Altars of Light
If the light is the soul
then soul is what's all around me.
It is you,
it is around you too,
it is you.
The darkness is inside me,
the opaqueness of organs folded upon organs——
to make light in the house of the body——
thus to bring the outside in,
the impossible job.
And the only place to become the skin the border,
the inbetween, where dark meets light,
where I meets you.
In the house of world the
any darknesses are surrounded by light.
To see the one, we need
the other / it cuts both ways
light on light is blind
dark on dark is blind
light through dark is not
dark through light is movement
dark through light becomes,
is becoming,
to move through light is becoming,
is all we can know.
