The Warmth of Light
(light about light)
Am I done
I mean for now and
Not
Tomorrow
The brilliant light behind
Me
Through the window
Keeps on shining
Making
Dust-exposed squares upon
The floor
Which is fine
Against
A social expectation
Light is yellow
It is gold
It is precious as we say
Of gold
Against the grayness of
The winter
And too many days
That do not shine
At all
Until
Maybe toward sunset
When sunlight shall slide beneath
The line of clouds
Before
The night
To make a light-prized
If late
Day of it
More usual
Winter’s day
Rather today and
In
These parts
We have a gift
In part
Because the buildings
Aren’t so tall
And
Well
Because I’m looking at it
Even warmed a bit
By a ray
And you might be looking
And be warmed
Should the winter-light ironic
Be good
In your
Current situation
Otherwise if
Far
Far
South
(not
so-far polar south)
Seek a/c
While some might think
Too
Light on light
To write about
Though
Maybe the proof is in
To read
About
And
I don’t know
Maybe feel all right

The day is
Here
And I am glad
And it’s a mess
And I
Am glad
x
Snow would vie with rain
Ice with streets
That are only wet
The wintry mix
They say
That sounds like salad
In a bag
I could select from bags
In the store

Thank you for
Messy days
Indeterminate;
I think I see
A patch of yellow and of green
On the tree out back
And now it’s gone,
That is,
The patch of light
And not
The tree
x
Yes, it is
Strange magic
Or I think it is
And I have a movie on
That I barely see or hear
Because
The day itself
Is more compelling,
And I can keep the background
Images
And especially the sounds
For the distraction
Of tinnitus
x
While looking better
At the black and brown
And white
And listening for wind
That pushes everything
x
A moving day outside
With patches
Now and then
Of yellow and of green,
Brighter parts
And shaded
While the sun and moon
Trade places
x
And is that not
(sorry,
kinescope
and nickelodeon)
The more compelling
Magic

Morning’s Delta Light
x
Judgment light
As morning sunlight
Without shadow
On the blanket;
The light is warm
In a purifying way
x
The light is yellow due to the
Sun’s agency:
On another world
What color might be
Informing the inhabitants?
x
It’s good;
The light is living
Adding deltas
To the chemistry of

A preference for cloudy days
Should not impede
What must also come someday
In sun
(with shadows)
To assess
