God Turned Night to Light, but . . .
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
He knew his instincts and he knew them right,
As right as when Jehovah ordered space
And time, as when His beard proclaimed the light
Which promulgated trillioned starry lace
And banished blankest blackness. But the truth
Of love’s perceptions was ignored. This man
Imagined stupidly that love and youth
Long lost might come, revived. The span
Of Gobi decades, desiccated dunes
