SAM MOYER

‘SECOND SIGHT’

Jean Burden

Beloved,

I can see you twice:

another self

hangs luminous above your head,

violet as sun upon the sea

after the sun has set.

The dark cloud of mind

blown by

lets free a second sight:

what you appear to be, and what you are

run toward me in the light.

In sleep and death,

In love,

the shadow springs alive from ground and wall-

the heart

sees double,

if it sees at all.
