A Prophecy Over The Small Child On The Swingset

you will translate the translucent into the opaque

poster paint blue tears will rise from acquiescing seas

you will acquaint yourself with no miseries

despite the prevailing culture

and paint the sun on the underside of midnight

pealing the bells that long have not been rung

because in you resides a Resident Light

that cannot be quenched even should all tears rise

at once and all the galaxies be drowned.
