Description
A heartbeat once broke this hallowed silence.
Soft, incarnadine, the color of true life,
this granite cathedral's walls shone with
fragile warmth.

A rush of breath once filled these brass pipes.
Ivory keys danced to the waltz:
the words were transparent, human
– too human.

Stained glass eyes and stained glass love
shone a kaleidoscopic radiance
upon the marbled, implacable, unbroken
granite floors.

But even the solstice ends.
Even scripture-bearing parchment
becomes only so much skin.
All is still.
