"Whose sun falls across these pages"
-- Stephen Kuusisto, Dark Joys

Shadows
in dispersion
across black font letters
building out songs
- short poems, too -
all scratched against
the seam of white paper,
the edge of my hand
knotted with smudged
graphite from leaning
too far into text -- maybe
I am both absence
and the sun
for Advent Of Joy
