Diogenes, lantern high, swept
through city streets keeping
daylight at bay looking for
an honest man
Paul Revere riding swift
to hang his lanterns
one if by land two if
by sea
Picture Nancy Drew, lantern
lit slipping silently through
inky hidden tunnels
unraveling secrets
And I, lantern in hand
beating back the black
navigating unmapped woods
unfearing the flitting of
thoughts and memories
