1116 
there are two lights
towards 
the green is day 
there all the creatures grow 
about their business 
and everything is one 
a circle 
the many are a leaf between 
lift by breeze 
and sun 
so drink 
in green 
of day
and then there is the shoplight dazzle 
sharp
out of the machine 
of buy up big 
and win 
and have 
and more 
it’s yours so bright 
in the mirror 
you won’t see yourself 
but all that you can be
I went to that light 
and I drank the poison there 
I shone 
and everything was new 
how jealous all the others were 
but then the shine came off 
I stood 
in the burning wreck of my world 
in dark of other stars for far 
that is the night between  
now choose 
now tell who you are
 
I like this very much. Fractured by the colour and the light. Great ending. Cheers.

ReplyDelete...and except that it's heading in another direction it reminds me very much of the old blues song, "Love in Vain":
When the train left the station
It had two lights on behind
Yeah, when the train left the station
It had two lights on behind
Whoa, the blue light was my baby
And the red light was my mind
