To Know the Dark
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
Wendell Berry

in secret one thing
to perceive, the
tall blue starry
strangeness of being
here at all.
-Franz Wright
from “The Only Animal”
I keep them in my breast pocket
to help my beaten heart
keep time

The unknowing heart
To see if I love
She has confidence she forgets
Under the clouds of her eyelids
Her head falls asleep in my hands
Where are we
Together inseparable
Alive alive
He alive she alive
And my head rolls through her dreams.
~Paul Éluard (trans. T. Kline)

my darkness,
the hunger of my heart.
~Jorge Luis Borges
your light found my feet -
the stars you wrote
in puddles
moored in me
