The Beacon
​
Those moments that are
Not stitches in time but
Clips of a mosaic, the colors
Undecipherable and each of
Us realizes we are blind,
Or rather, we have always been
Blind, our eyes shut to more
Than just blacks and blues;
When we fear that all semblance
Of feeling has escaped us,
And how could it remain when
We maim one another with all
The tools at our disposal?
Dreams, Prophecies, secrets, prayers;
So many means of running,
Trampling, and without even Mentioning blood drawn by the Hands, tears wiped by the
Tissue, as we cower in that limbo
Between anger and longing.
Learning to Use the Scalpel
