1103. CHILDLESS EYES

CHILDLESS EYES
And now you've really done it:
kept the door from closing, kept
the lights from going out, kept the
ancient waters running. Frank Lloyd
Wright and Falling Water could have
done it no better than that - water running
beneath the structure, undermining nothing
all the while, running. It's a magnificent aged
architecture I'm looking at. Not a sag nor a
pinch anywhere. Beams all in their perfect
circumspection, standing straight and
carrying every load.
-
I want to say, by this :
'these are truly gracious times', but
of course there is no grace left. In
fact, there is nothing worth saying
to say : 'about that which we cannot
speak, we must remain silent.'
