Light in the Attic


Gustavo says it’s qualities of light
In whatever he looks at
The way someone’s past glimmers up
The trunk and into eucalyptus leaves

The way broken sunlight carves
A throat as radiant as yours
Or how a cloud shadow tills
Tender alleys in this yellow city

What does he know
Holding on to it for grace
For your silence!

Gustavo goes walking
With some intent to knock
He goes walking towards the sky
That passionate suffering can’t wrinkle

He goes walking
Where the sun blinks its infant eyes
Aflame in this immortal desire to die
