THE SOUND OF LIGHT

BY MATTHEW AVINA-NORRIS

The sound of light
A reverent touch
Softer-heard, is-felt
A quavering breath
Turn, from the hollow
Falling empty
A strange breath, I, too, must breathe
Hours … that fuuucking S – T – R – E – T – C – H
Incomprehensible forms, in motion
wading, a shallow of tears
… kiss of stars. | MAV
