Light of the World

^{after the 1932 painting by Peter Blume
and a poem by Sawako Nakayasu after Ursula Andkjær Olsen}

i worship in technicolor
with my despairbody chairbuddy
this    is what i do
look up

a sphere of lightgrief   bodydust   and a wish:
my hand     inside the ventriloquist
release the dummy
look up

opalbody celestitebody tourmalinebody topaz
like a crystalline joyosphere shimmering inside
its own electric equilibrium

particles moving world inside the light
windchains sunwreaths coalbonds
i place the light
i place the world inside the light and look
