I like, yet fear, those flashes of light, and the sharp, unworldly forms we glimpse in the illuminated cracks. The world does feel like a thing of current and becoming. Which is why I loved the last line, in particular. We have such a small place in the giant symphony. <br /><br />This poem is particularly meaningful to me right now, because of that novel idea I'm tussling with. Let's just say the book might start out, <I>It was a dark and stormy night...</I> ;) <br /><br />Beautifully vivid, and <I>present</I>, as always, K.
