windows




you cannot walk by a window you have stopped at before
without pausing in the hallway
full of shadows and snow drifts.

in my own heart i see the glass, and i realize what i am to be.

because it's nice to think of mirrors.
nice to watch the light peep out from my joints and fingertips.
pleasant to think that i should be the image seen, 
even veiled.

but i think that i should like to be a window better.

one that you stopped at every time you passed.
one that you pressed your freckled nose up against.
one that opened up to the heart of God
green countries 
full of trees and blackbirds
that refuse to stop singing
