once upon a time / i heard there was a light / of no ashes, no smoked flakes /
i heard and i heard and i heard until i became / the passage, the tunnel /
through which rays seep / through which love penetrates / and honey all you have to know is that / this love is not a match and you are not to be aflame / love self redeemed / from within till without / and back around / and i feel my skin extending into a shimmering sea / my lips the shore / on which fear nullifies / those bones soften into creamy memories / and those irises dilate like whispered promises / my heart, receptive to light, grows and grows and grows / and i feel the universe expanding through me /
