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.
