light worker (20 April 2009)

18 Dec

it is the perspective of
you standing at the foot
of the tall stone light house

and simultaneously at its
crown, looking out. The
light becomes the foreground

an exclamation mark in
existence, a statement of who
you are, and in the stone corridors

winding up and down
there runs a story of a
man

  a brother
  a boss
  a father

  a boy who forgot how it
   began

and its like clockwork
as one man disappears
another comes to knock

around the cold stairs
and find a way to dim
  the light

it is a constant noise
