collapse

recorded at KXCI by Ron Cipriani for A Poet’s Moment

                                         collapse

this is the light
burning across the water.
breaking and shattering

… never before seen and unknown
light you cannot possess
punctures your marrow

light tearing worlds apart
only uneasy until
light alone stands

as it is quite bright
i ignore all foolish darkness
insanity and lies
so as to collapse directly,
knowing nothing and aching
sun, light, and begging one
