Robert Verdon, #69, Black Holes, a Sort of Sonnet


The clouds are paper lanterns dim,

the colour of discarded bone,

the sun has fled, the world is grim,

the sea has left you on your own,

the moon is rolling on its rim,

the atmosphere is towel-hot,

the sand sucks underneath your soles,

the night is trapped within a pot;

but now you understand it all,

the universe is full of holes,

and they are broad as they are tall

and from this dream you never wake —

that space within you softly tolls

in everything you try to make.
