A galley of windows
You sit in a world
of framed, glazed words

crazed by age and patinas passed
down through dust

to their livid surfaces encrusted,
windows, once filled in

by the coloured eye
of living minds

worlds that blow and howl,
heaving or lean in quiet serenity

buildings, old and threadbare
flag draped, quietly disposed

in forgotten corners, older worlds
where meadows moan, paddocks slow swaying

with Autumn grass, turning cold
into the folds of mountains

winds up there, rend trunks raw
bare and twisted

gnarled by the old, barking and hacking
in their slab huts cold, crudely daubed

All these worlds from a chair
in the quieted still of a spinning universe

All these men and ships, and mountain springs
dulled cows, and vanished horses, gone

while over there- a window on
a white sailed sea serene

disappears over the horizon
to a land never seen

find this gallery of windows,
wherever your are

past or present,
near or far.
