from Morning Song… for Martin Battye Behind the eyes, behind the glass, beyond the horizon of the visible is plain and simple light, the fire and smear of colour suffused with its own luminosity, its sense of self.

And there you stand at the very centre of it, blazed, lit, blown, by the world in which you find yourself, alone in the middle of Monet’s field, of Seurat’s riverbank,

of a lusciousness, you may dive into or luxuriate in. So the world moves, you say. So it shimmers at noon, So it offers its prospects as through an open window…
