He writes towards your mouth
with his fingers.
In the lamplight he sees mud, wind bitten trees,
he sees grass still surviving this hour, page
stern as a burnt field.
He whispers. The words leave the taste of soil
on his lips:
Light was. Salvation.
The night. The words. The cold stones in his throat.
