"that's how the light gets in"

we're looking for someone
we haven't seen in... years
memories--folded, refolded,
stored safely like souvenirs
 
so when you reach across 
the table to take my hand 
I already know how you'll 
want to summon a heaven

so full of holes, we lost 
places, people, all we still
seek--yet our hands open 
to applaud how light leaks in 


Title: 
Leonard Cohen--"There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."
Rumi-- "Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you."
