Blackout Poem by Jonathan Howard

Blackout



We’re all cut off the basic thing
Upon which we’re dependent;
And down our skin we feel the sting,
Light is no more radiant.

I lit up two-three candle
And a light then fl ickered on;
I bumped into doorhandles
And all previous pains were gone.

A sound of magic then revives
Those long-forgotten odes;
My hand then writes and works and strives,
Until I fi nd these words.

(Spring 2005.)
