Solstice: a reverie on light

the true heart
does not
speak in words
its language
a symphony
of color
your heart
as a child
of the sun
falls silent
on the longest night
folds upon itself
like a blanket
and descends
the thin voice
of your heart’s shell
groans
i cannot bear it
i can’t survive this
as the dead-eyed
memories
of loss
and regret
press
their slack mouths
against
its skin
with the morning chorus
manned
by stout cardinals
the miracle
returns
undeserved
and pristine
we rise
like the sun
surprised
the darkness
did not win
why are we surprised?
were we not made
from the ashes
of dionysus?
we
the sons and daughters
of Mithra
beloved of christ
how is it
we forget
the light
though
it is the fabric
of our being?
