Bearer of Light

hitchhiked the way across the usa
plucked his eyebrows on the way
shaved her legs and

every morning
that comes from a place
far away
and if he lives

to give his only begotten stone

fed to him by taking a part of yourself alone
moved into the center of our orbit of our eyes
your beautiful form and curving weight and thigh
the soft touch and the gentle dark heart

And one by one the stars went out
then all of us
yet unborn
heard the cry

Let there be light

and there was
