I have learned to wait
patiently
for the side light,
the one close to the ground,
the one you might miss if you
don't watch your step.
The side light,
not the beam thrust down-from-heaven
--i have yet to experience one of those--
no,
the unassuming gesture of illumination
that pierces on the slant
and originates unexpectedly
from a source that's been there all along,
a source you cannot see, but know, yes know
somehow.
The side light,
on an axis that neither shocks nor mistakes you,
but in a horizontal kind of way
makes a leveling miracle of proportion.
