The Bars

I have to ignor the captured 
tails of iron fences as the bars 
on my doors and windows 
corrupt the view.  
Hidden among rooves and 
concrete the sky is the color 
of a doll's face. 
I have looked through these 
bars for so long I don't see 
them anymore, only a new view, 
unique, with a sea of pink clouds
and delicate seabirds flying.
