Behind Six Windows

Captured by concrete, profit and dust
Punctuated by pain, pleasure and impermanence
Unsustained and unsustainable
Unknowing
Behind six windows.
She is dying inside
Unnoticed
Shadowed on a sidewalk somewhere else
She watched us from time immemorial
Waiting, hoping, loving
Behind six windows.
To live is to die
To die is to live
Only love and light survive- Permanence
Something we found unfashionable for too long
As dust remains unsettled
Behind six windows.
Schumpeter and Thoreau
Were blood brothers
In a supreme battle also missed
Through ten thousand books
Faded into lost minds of generations past
Green to grey, grey to red
Linear to curves, curves to circular
Do we finally see… now?
Behind six windows.
Pain, pleasure and time
Slip through wrinkled hands
Between structures, locks and cages
More slowly see her
A new vision
Another glimpse
The Great Glimpse
The Seventh Window
Before another tiny tear quickly disappears...
