New Place

Now I have seen
the brilliant spread-
the flush, full places,
(coming from a quiet
hall of fluorescent
light).
When that last gap
gave way to my first glimpse,
I gave my last gasp
in the stale, hot air.
Here the inactive light
is reflected in the eyes
of people caught in the
new breath
of their spastic flailing.
Now I have seen it
and suddenly feel
far removed from the harsh,
unspoken words of the last place.
