Seán Street (U.K.)
The art’s to discover
what the world wants of you,
the way a player finds himself when he stops
time,
running the perfect
ball half a pitch length,
the magnetic goal’s net
opening its heart
with the grace of a
predestined thing,
the way sometimes words
can fall into a poem’s line
as if they had always
been there, or the top C sung
in cathedral acoustic
making itself new each time,
theyou and I of
lovers happening together,
and colour an effort of
matter to become light,
as Novalis said.
