Here’s A Window

Mark Fleury

Here’s a window, collected from and defined by
The surrounding environment, and oppressive
Predawn rain; each other torn apart is time,
The grand distraction, like the great

Unholy other
Side, the psychic wound’s trinity of racism,
Homophobia and sexism, the obligatory abomination of
The human spirit; hell is rage-defined, convecting

As thought watching. Still, paranoia, though cutoff from
Natural light, is power: given to others for learning and healing
(Oneself with dry mouth, sweat on fingers) and most dangerous
When it feels good. “I’m winning.”

More known, less
Felt/perceived, and the wound deepens.
Reconciliation is a removal, revealed to be real,
Such as the predawn rain turning into morning

Snow, collected back into the earth, or condensation’s
Union of hot and cold: water, casting its own shadows,
Beaded, sliding down the windowpane. Heat rises and thins
So mountains are cold because heaven,

A kind of cyberspace
Opposite, is angel-defined: like a child on a bed safe
From nightmares. The Guardian, the Aether,
Is clear breath, oxygen, empty of division.
