Yet

               Yet

Yet lancet arches are what really made

.

Me choose this elegant, receding view.

Ranged narrowest ones gave their distant, blade-

Like contemplation of the glassand you

Arose within my consciousness.  What chance

I had for consummation of my love

Seemed symbolized by each hard, rocky, lance-

Like gateway to unfocused blue above

Embroidered altar cloth.  Did they proffer

A hope behind, beyond their knife-like stone?

Did negative vista space there offer

The possibility that I could own

..Those parts of you that seemed so far away

…. From grasp?  Could challenges be led astray?
