The Light Will Find You (A Poem for the Dark)

Write something
list
alphabet
in fog on the window

See that you exist.
Blood magic heartbeat
longing
are beginning middle end

Now while you’re breathing
Now, while persecuting
potential unreached
spoilt sperm

a finish line
deserted with dusk
You exist.
Write something.

Your name
its letters
in sand in song
speak it through the dark

the light will find you.

by Pema Teeter
