Nature's First Stained Glass Windows

looking into the bare trees
on a cloudy winter day
at the Boston College campus
imagining how in the world
these windows were made...

using branches as the lead



and the warm hand of spring



to push out the calligraphic nutrients



often with chaotic exuberance



and night light as inspiration



for a shaded human audience



on life's wondering paths



with messages of silent wisdom



like the written word



telling stories



in a dense precision



and concrete terms



while providing cover



interesting connections



and dangerously irresistable leaps.
