Light Travel

Random musings on how light might travel between people, or how two people might energise light, musings really…

*

We’ve been flying from star to star

Shunting between walls, light driven

Luminous, fragile, disintegrating

 *

You have outshone the room

We are contained by matter

Material, we are poor

With too much money

travel from limit to limit

shuttlecock between places

 *

bulbs leak from ceilings

drained, the carpet bubbles beneath us

ignites slick as a match’s rasp

struck hard as a breath, a lung’s gasp

we burnt this, it smoulders.

 *

All smoked out, the fumes get to you first

We bake in an oven hot as Madrid.
