Sonnet

Light 
by Willis Barnstone

 Light is my end. Born when a few cells fuse
in a big bang of love, from nothing I 
become a mass living in time, and lose
my black aloneness for the unseen eye
of mind catching you. We two think and burn. 
Back in 1905 Albert Einstein, 
a clerk in the Patent Office in Bern,
found we electromagnetically shine,
which means that I am charged with being me,
discharging like the sun. And when my mass
and time slow down to zero gravity,
dismembering me to be infinite night,
Albert's mc2 tells me though my ass
will disappear, I shall turn into light
