John One
light-flame burning burning
where is your mother?
who is your father?
can you stretch our generations?
(look softly at yourself)
(burn quietly little wick)
make love your fuse and wait again
—to burn like the sun inside—
homely wick, wax and flame
the room, dark, dim
waits to see the light of men
wait, with me, for him.
