Untitled (home)

Simon Perchik

So what it’s string, not rope --this bell
has nothing to hang on to though the sun
weighs nothing once it’s attached

the way this ceiling was made from a wall
spreading out till what you hear
becomes the chimes to call their dead back

where there are no mornings --it’s just a lamp
half magic, half dangling high above the bed
you don’t sleep in anymore, are over and over

counting the blows to open something
made from glass as if piece by piece
could pull you to the surface

and stay lit, cling as your only hope
to free the light with your arms
that have at last found the way home.
