“the sun finds him running through the dawn agile as a poem”

— Homero Aridjis (trans. W.S. Merwin), Los Espacios Azules / Blue Spaces: Selected Poems

“Sunlight pouring across your skin, your shadow flat on the wall. The dawn was breaking the bones of your heart like twigs. You had not expected this, the bedroom gone white, the astronomical light pummeling you in a stream of fists. You raised your hand to your face as if to hide it, the pink fingers gone gold as the light streamed straight to the bone, as if you were the small room closed in glass With every speck of dust illuminated. The light is no mystery, the mystery is that there is something to keep the light From passing through.”

—Richard Siken, “Visible World”
