Kit Kelen #1116 - there are two lights towards


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

  1. I like this very much. Fractured by the colour and the light. Great ending. Cheers.

  2. ...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
