Poetry by Shaun Clamp
That light
could be hope
how it feathers against the windscreen
How its centre is impenetrable
like a flower, like a beacon
of some hope, of some god
How when I blink my watery eyes it stretches out to touch
the soft slope of my nose
How I look at it
and wish I could hope
but it withdraws
receding its twinkling optical tethers
until it’s just
the misted car interior
that cradles me
and the lights frost over
and the moon pretends
I like this poem. Good images. Strong.
wonderful combination
That light has many strong qualities. Not the least of which, to open up doors and perspectives.
