Light and Its Tendencies by Glen Armstrong

Written By Saharsh Satheesh

I finish surrendering, 

and I am asked to surrender more.

 

I drink black coffee.

 

The beadwork has worn from my shoes.

I eat blueberries.  

 

I have no hope, 

no time to slow down. 

 

Pink blossoms fall from apple

blossom trees.

 

Urgh! 

 

I am besieged by light and its tendencies.

A bottle of Orange

 

Crush glistens in the sun.
