The shed of one’s true glory into the happenstance of life a prerequisite to forgetfulness yet the bough from which it came sways in the breeze of time and taps on window panes draped with essential veils. The veils are made to last and they keep the truth at bay like clouds on summer days and they’re heavy like the price we pay to be participants. I stand like one distanced from my own damn window pane held so by veils ordained to be there for no good reason but to keep me ignorant. Oh, glory be, oh, glory be but not ever in my lifetime because boughs tap to no avail when soundproofed is the mind by impenetrable veils. Boughs and veils and window panes and the whispers of “Oh, glory be” bounce back like useless tender into my human stock-pile there to lie as dormant through the happenstance of life! Helen |
