Poet: Dim Yourself Down
Words cannot appear
with your brain all lit up like that.
Most of your better images
are born in that low-grade radiance
of flesh and bone.
After the low glow
you can fill in the mind-gaps
with moonshine and lighter fluid.
Now you can switch
the blinding glare of reason
back on again, but never fully
or you may cover up
what you have just revealed.
