(Written May 2021 in Sedona Arizona on my way north to Utah, while at a campfire with my friends Nelson and Genevieve. Rediscovered and written on bus walls in August 2022.)
Take This Sight Into Daylight
Look into the fire—
Your eyes adjust to the fire.
Look through dark to distant stars
And your eyes adjust to the stars.
Look back down at the fire—
Your eyes readjust to the fire.
The fire shines bright in your eyes—
Your eyes justify the fire.
The stars are the fire in your eyes—
Your eyes justify the stars.
