Light like gum come
unstuck
from the never-to-be-seen
only-flinched-at underside
of a pub table
old light, someone else's light
used up light, once sticky, fresh
on the mouth, now hardened, darkened
with dust, scratch now
with a nail, there's some life in the tacklight yet
perhaps even - if you were to - no
no, forsaken light, grosslight
you couldn't possibly light
but you do anyway -
moist light, cave light
radiates out, o servile light
head like a lighthouse light
what it is to release
leftover light
