Best of enemies
I would borrow a lost god
to hinder me with a hard
and slippery light
I invite guests
meaning to be merry for
I could not be alone
whatever I am is naked
and would have stayed out
all night

Poems on the topic “light” on Poets.by.
Different
among so many people
I cannot do without
people of different discourse to hear
as rain and wind
my lodgings open to the light
and the black land
Fire tender
I look into the fire
a whole city of light
burials plague it every instant
fleet hands rising
as if from a man without name
not concerned about sleep
Forest for the trees
who will see the forest
’round that melancholy tree the brain
that goes to the light
with a thorn
Ground down
do not stay long
where we walk up and down
a ground for visions
is not enough
spent in seeing
these places never sing
of the light of a better place
than the grave
Gastric
my stomach desiring more
continues to have more
moth to light we come
to take it all up
Unbirthed
in the absence of light I will eat
a mouthful of money
the undone child is ready
to fall down again
Eros
taking the rope-maker
to his rope-ground
and the stove
to drink some light
we touch and see
how they speak of us
our hands
more than the mouth
Minutiae
the morning light showed me
a fur on the air
I saw heat and passion as in a war
I discovered little light things
ignorant till then
of microscopic life
Vanity
I half live
in the looking glass
fair as sand
I turn to follow the light
that mad thing
having met my corpse
Propitiation
the Dow down
the river is red with light
a late rite
Stroke
ice at noon
and I expect spoil
a white light at first
but far and cold
