The Monk Windows, Ravens, Angels and Embryos Forming


“The Monk Windows, Ravens, Angels and Embryos Forming” 

Dawn arrives
in the black and white
misunderstood in the abstract
you can see the 
embryos of thought forming 
always inside us 
the children 

white angel wings 
cover sleeping pages
where raven wings
spread like evensong 
in storm clouds cutting
through the dissolving glass

lighter things 
are never as they appear
like windows forming 
where black monks stand 
commanding their understanding

and the ghosts of the future
call the fallen years back in
holding court
staring back with their 
vacant hollow faces

waiting for some repetitive
tiring confession from 
the yawning windows
before their irreverent blessing
you listen for the sound 
that follows the lightening

but all you hear is 
the loud beating 
of your heart
falling through
the soul’s hourglass
it’s over-percolated dripping

lighter things 
are never as they appear
like windows forming 
where black monks stand 
commanding their understanding

Dawn arrives
in the black and white
misunderstood in the abstract
you can see the 
embryos of thought forming 
always inside us 
the children 

the message 
sealed for breaking 
through the glass house 
and its never-ending ceilings
