Stained Glass
Glance in,
peer out
Not even sufficient for a thought
to be worked out
another day, another damage
Acrylic may as well be water color
for all the gravity held
the mark, made by stroke
good intentions turned poor attempts
Corneas, retinas, pupils
eyes referred to as windows to the soul
while the body isn't treated
like a temple
not just anyone can attend mass
Stained glass into a ruined mirror
stared at
as unhinging as
seen through
if only the reflection
left the pane
to the window
Memories past
displayed in a museum
populace none
a b r o k e n exhibit,
for blinded eyes
