A swirl

After I John 1:5-2:2

We observe a swirl

of ideas, or metaphors,

mixed together

until inseparable:

word, life, light.

The Word was, is, will be;

in that word was, is, will be

life; in that life was, is, will be

light, a light that splits

the darkness, shatters it

into pieces of itself, pieces

without power, a memory

haunted by what it was, is, will be:

formless and void.
