Today we give you a poem by Lemn Sissay from his collection Let the Light Pour In (Canongate Books, 2023). This is one of Esa Aldegheri's favourite poems, for when light and strength feel scarce - we hope that it can offer you some light if you need it.

'How do you do it?' said night / 'How do you wake up and shine?' / 'I keep it simple,' said light / 'One day at a time.'
