I need to print this out and sit with it. So much to take in and so many good lines. The one lingering with me right now is, "I shall see his light streaming from my skin."
I love the image of “the waves / unlocked and seethed, as ever” as well as the verb choice in the line: “I, John, saw and heard such things / as clove me to rejoicing.”

Thank you! This was a hard poem to write.
