365. LIGHT LIKE AN IVORY GLIMMER

LIGHT LIKE AN
IVORY GLIMMER

These elephants were slim - slim as any
dapper ivory statue. Placed upon a million-
dollar mantle, they reposed each evening,
bright. As the sun, bright. Bright, as the
Heavens, bright. We lose for nothing
with our want of an equal glow. We
are but men, and these are - truly -
angels of Heaven marked in glass.
