Between the Deluge and the Night Prayer

Purity of heart is to will one thing.
–SK

To hold you in light,
different sources of light:
kiln, torch, lantern; mirror, match.
What gives off heat gives off light.

To hold you in light,
rain filling the caves,
cliffs with blue sparks that recall light.
The sailing sea around, a place of light.

To seize you, and within light
count no heaven beyond light. Light,
a fire, a signal white, (dove)
fluttering
(sky)
