A poem finds light through broken glass
Steve Gerson
Embedded Files
The glass web spidered,
rock thrown and splintery.
Once planed and pristine
as lake water unruffled
by breeze dance
reflecting sky silence,
the windowpane now refracted,
tidal as undulating sun shafts,
casting fractals
on the hardwood floorboard.
The shimmer cracked into
facets like rhyme seeking rhythm,
meter imagining theme,
scansion finding a poem.
