rhode island mall, warwick, rhode island, 2006
lower half:
- the limp plants,
- the pathetic tile,
- the comically impoverished earthly works of men.
- the black gate into darkness, in the rear,
- and the stairs leading downward,
- on which one descends out of sight,
- away from the illumination,
- the glowing light that shines from above
upper half:
- the perfect geometrical symmetries of the heavens,
- which one cannot reach,
- but one can contemplate,
- seeking their light
