Elegy for My Son

Raphy Nicholas Bell, September 20 – October 7, 1981

A lifetime later,

I sit at my desk

And the light in the water glass

Catches my eye.

All I want to do

Is write a poem

To keep the light

Catch the light

Caught by the water

As it plays in the glass on the desk.

Glances. Goes.

Where does light go

When I can’t see it?

That flicker of li li ofli

That flick light

Flick

Light flicker

That

Was you
