Ignus Fatuus

Seek no more houses O Child
All walls are things of sorrow
Let us be orphans
A homeless light;
Neither a gift nor a cause to borrow
But a fire that awakes
On unmoored ships in the middle of the sea
And a dappled world asleep neath
Moonlight through canopy

  1. I couldn’t agree more with d.a.simpsonwriter’s comment!

    “Powerfully voiced narrator.” Yes!

    Also, can I reblog one of your poems on my site, please?
