Most of your better images
are born in that low-grade radiance
of flesh and bone.

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....

Most of your better images
are born in that low-grade radiance
of flesh and bone.

After the glow
you can fill in the gaps

but not too much
or you’ll cover up
what you should have revealed....
