I was sad to come across the obituary of the brilliant poet Sebastian Barker today. I’ve been reading his books for years. Here’s a poem from his collection ‘The Erotics of God’:
The Reflection
The crazy sky is slit with light,
the dream emerges from
The vast receptacle of light
where no attendants came.
Slit from ear to ear the brain
sees itself in this,
The crazy colours of the sun
exploding the abyss.
