Written after viewing an exhibition of Polish Art (1888-1939). The image is by Henryk Stanewski and is entitled, Composition in Red and White, 1956


gallery moment

the glass

sided bridge

seemed so

fragile linking

thee to me

them to us

no hand rail

diagonal

sky above

broken

flags

below

were

I to make

that jump

absent mindedly

I pause

and wonder

as the light

shafts through

at angles

a child

breaks

my reverie

with a cry

broken hearts

and minds

resplendent joy

I cross

over
