poet obsession of the moment

Richard Siken.

From "Visible World" published in his book Crush.

"Then dawn was breaking the bones of your heart like/twigs."

"The light is no mystery/the mystery is that there is something to keep the light/from passing/through."

I cannot get over these lines.
"Then dawn was breaking the bones of your heart like twigs."
"The mystery is that there is something to keep the light/from passing/through."

This is what poetry looks like.
