Pietra Serena
Daylight will protect the familiar,
or recognisable, element, but also
conceals more than intended:
the separation from darkness was
a temporary solution, not the
finial meant to decorate a ceiling,
any height, which rises above us:
these rooms surrounded with
blind windows, occupy and trap
a restless spirit, forever vying in
dominion over itself: the extension
of an ever-constricting space,
whose boundaries lie around us,
to venture upward with movement
our bodies find impossible.
