Fiat Lux, or phantasmagoria
March 1, 2014
If you knew
What flies around inside my head
The boring drills
The sandy wind on leaded glass
The goose down
The avalanche
The boxes nested to infinity
If you knew
Who walks around inside my head
The ‘I’ who speaks
The ‘I’ who listens
The ‘I’ who watches after
The blind one
The dead one
The ‘You’ who loves
The You’ who hates
The ‘You’ who judges always
The others
The ghosts
If you knew
Why this goes on inside my head
I’d pray you lend me light.
