Went to see my son, his wife and their newborn baby yesterday. Got a late birthday pressie, a book of poetry with two of Jim's in it. Yep, a proper published author.

A poem by James Harris

Sparks in the Dark

Sparks in the dark: yours, mine
in this vessel swaddled
lovers collide
“once you've got your eye in
there's someone home”
tearfrosted window: a bloom, diffuse, barely aglow
but-
(quickbreathin eyeswide bitelip fistclenched)
-but there
a swimming nexus, singing forth, forming, growing
out from a singularity
the spark has taken; the dark has broken
definite defiant but vague: glorious paradox

not even our pounding hearts combined keep pace
with this fuzzy little fizzing racing pulse
and our minds combined won't yet fully comprehend

the something from the nothing at the start of it all
