News at Eleven: There is too much brightness.

A glow can also be a warning in the dark: "a light warning remains in everything,/like a movement of a light veil: warning." By the end of the third section of this long, plangent poem, the writing is on the wall: "terrible, true X-ray writing/in letters of bones, in white and lightning: MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN."

from The Guardian: Words without borders
