Holding on to the Light

Decoloured wallpaper

In hand-painted floral patterns on

layers of wealth, unwelcome, and dust of decades

covering the secrets and scars of the past,

suddenly illuminated

and my eyes desperately try to hold on to the light. Slowly then

our chances fade again

We were blind anyway

not opening our windows.

Growing Light

While I wake up

early morning after The Green Thursday

I touch the breathtaking light growing into the new day

into my heart

and wonder

how long I can keep it to stay

and if I can let go while it moves again, away
