Stained Glass Souls

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Stained Glass Souls



what if a clear window gave reflection
and we could see through the other side of a mirror
into that 

other dimension where lost love ones
wait

for someone to Windex the portal
and let them pass
with clear conscience.

Had to Google Windex even though in retrospect it now seems 'obvious'. Kept thinking windlass! But again I am incredulous at your ability to create so many allegorical masterpieces of poetry. They seem to trip off your tongue with alacrity before you paint them on the canvas for us to enjoy Jacob.
