Stained Glass
Glass is unyielding, brittle, hard. With a design in mind   Accept what the glass gives. Find where the design lives. Score the glass carefully. Slide the cutter slowly, methodically. Snap the glass lightly. Tap before the break, once, gently. Firmly. Parts of a puzzle,   Take form, new design. The answer to a riddle. Change, mutate, realign.
I hold you up to the sun. You scatter its rays Upon cold Crete forever bound. Divide my room with light. No pain. No fear. No flight.	Fall. Fall at night. Fall away from sun. Fall away from heat. Fall away from pain. Fall away from memory. Fall away from stain.
