Hiding Behind New Dust
Looking back
there was, without a shadow
of a doubt, a certain beauty there
…
Albeit trapped and shrouded
caught and held firm
on those high narrow ledges
…
And again, within
such deep crevices, like those
we once found hidden and then lost
…
Yes, that is where it so often
went unnoticed despite such an
extraordinary spark at the heart of it
…
Where stained glass
stands as a sharp testimony
to the new dust that now surrounds it
