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.
