Mothmen


Mothmen.jpg


say what you will of light

it has a will of its own,
travels at a single speed,
defines the limits of time,
relentlessly illuminates the obvious,
pierces even crevasses of icy vaults of
frozen souls, 
echoes in mirrors,
splits in the purity of prisms
which splinter its wavelengths
offering to eyes the oscillating
brilliance of the world,

and simultaneously draws and ends
the lives of mothmen
who fly too close
……….. —true mother of visions,
it is faint in the minds
of the self-obsessed blind
