Light And Dark
I want to measure the distance
between light and dark
between grains of sand
because it’s never enough
to simply have faith.
Pale and weary
I have taken myself apart
so many times
and cannot understand
this weakness of forgetting
that no alchemy can change.
Some memories are empty injuries
Both light and dark
are reminders of what I am
the anatomy of my existence

It is never enough to simply have faith.
