Haiku Variations. The Lamp of an illuminator.


Some ask their neighbours to
Turn on the lamps, then you know
It must be Friday night

When I was much younger
Earth new no fire, new no light
False gods had stolen it

So I dug my hole
And descended into Dante´s dark worlds
There I scooped up flames

Like Prometheus I burned myself
And gave the candlesticks to the halflings
They secure the worldly lights

So when I use the switch
On the last day of the week
He laughs and blesses me

That´s how I light
My lamps with joy and with bliss
For He smiles at illuminators
