Spike of Light

By Vern Fein

---

He woke up in the dark and knew.
He already knew but now New
touched His face, moved His head
slightly to the left, opened His eyes,
a crack of dawn, a tiny crack of dawn
spiked from the tomb door, soon
footsteps, and He knew his own
would walk eternally with the others.
