To Curse or to Kindle

To curse the darkness

is too easy.  A dart board

the size of a barn

with a quiver of barbed adjectives.

 

To light a candle,

is to sizzle the fuse of jasmine

blooming at night.

 

To curse the villainy

lullabyes the choir

even as it charges them.

 

To nurture that tendril,

with common threads, shared tears,

is to create a spark of connectivity

to brighten the solstice,

one flicker at a time, one song,

one instrument, one reed,

one note.................and then another.
