wakes up from the dream of
january snow to
january snow,
to the news of starving children in
ordinary suburban homes,
and she tells him she loves him,
she holds up the undying light of her heart and
what else can he do but close his eyes and
cast a shadow?

John Sweet sends greetings from the rural wastelands of upstate NY. He is a firm believer in writing as catharsis, and in the continuous search for an unattainable and constantly evolving absolute truth. His latest poetry collections include Heathen Tongue (2018 Kendra Steiner Editions) and Bastard Faith (2017 Scars Publications).
