Kip Knott

THE HERMIT

It could be a captured star

he holds within his lantern,


or someone’s misplaced soul

he found when he lost his way


home for the first time in his life.

Whatever its source, the light


inside guides him through a forest

he easily navigated in the dark


back when he was a younger man.

Kip Knott's latest poetry chapbook Rothko's Gospels is available through tiny wren publishing.
