I love to see the lights come on warm and golden in the
evening’s misty damp grey. These beacons
of homely glow and cheer lure the weary home, like the disembodied souls of the
universe flying home to roost. This
priceless golow glister that shines from a sea of earthly windows on the houses
up on the hill, it speaks of the sanctity of home, of the beauty of warmth and
shelter and also of the hint of adventure as your life crosses that of another.
Lovers play in some of these lighted looming rooms whilst in
others, solitary sit the solo, lost in thought and musing the universe through
an eye to the sky. Spangled light orange
as barley and glowing from within, seeping and dripping from gambrelled windows
and gable-pitched rooves. Each window a
splodge of golden orange paint in my oil-painting, my structure of dark blue
brickwork against the city sky when I was youth incarnate.
Casting away sorrows, the rebetis takes up an ancient lute and breaks into song. Now let the light shine.
P.S. You might have noticed that The Caterpillar frequently comes out late these days. For that, we can only blame the influence of the white rabbit.
