My Only Boy
Shearwater

My only boy, be not so blind.nOpen your eyelids wide. In through your mouth, breathe soft, light…nThere are no words, no hands, no eyes,nto show where a door stands wide.nIn through your mouth, breathe soft, light…nnLet your heart stand open,nwhen silence trickles down, bright,nand softly, slowly surroundsnyour little ghost townnnSet all the silver lamps alight.nOpen the windows widen(come to me now, in soft light).nnShow every world in its separate light-n(A gull’s wing, a crow’s dark eye)nWhere all the city’s foundlings liennWhen your heart stands open,nand offered to a crowd,ndraw lines around your chosen life.nAnd let it burn, bright -nover all the lovely facesnn(In place of the sun,nIn place of the moon…)
