The Light Is In the Darkness

An aged boy
is wander
wakes up at the dawn
secretly
looks through the house
neighborhood backstreets
market stores

Walks around and takes a look
the light is invisible

Go up and down the gardens

Meeting animal
smiling flower
whispering streams
shiny pebble
a rocking sea
dancing grasses
blowing wind

flickering lights dancing

Dragging a tired body
in hopelessness
opens the bedroom door in warehouse
falls asleep like the dead
in the nightmare
closes the eyes
light comes from the broken darkness,
touches the lips
buried in the night.
