You go about the daily business of your life
gulping great gusts of air,
emitting an exquisite light.
I marvel, - I marvel.
You are a lovely luminary.
Bioluminescence is your birthright;
You are heir to the contained and continuous explosion of the Sun,
-nitrogen-calcium-carbon-
You are star stuff in singular form.
Me?
I swim my murky night-cave,
Sallow,
blinded by a dismal, desparing darkness.
Memories of what i used to see return
to stab my heavy (my hungry) heart.
And yet,
and yet...
I marvel at my sighted offspring-
I marvel at your light.
Callista Caduceus
