FIRST LIGHT
the first sunrise is only a dream, and so is time: for the sun holds a landscape of light in which moment and world become the emphatically now: a rising of things, mystery that comes with transformation of the heart, blue comet kingfisher, cantata in the light choral advent of existence: butterfly sun, immanence and egg, when dream-time and moment merge in the history and humming of our song, as the sun rises from the first ever dream, and wild shadow:
the sun rises
the birth of light itself
bird, fire
hymn, myth,
& world
AA Marcoff
Such an enchanting piece of tanka prose.
