Doors that fall nearly open - a reading for Louise Charlton by Lloyd Godman

Insignificant structural details that:
hold a window together, stop it from turning to grains of sand,
fix the pain in so it can not escape as a kite in the night wind when the sun sleeps

that glue the walls on, halt the separation of physical planes needed to
hold the ceiling from falling down, where the decoration would be destroyed in white dust

Elements grow beyond themselves
Form a Scale beyond the realistic proportions of normal life and daily events
Become Greek gods monumental against the break of distant sky’s
As yet they are intact, resolute, useful

Lights divide the space and times apart
A drama plays when the transition of day light fades and the incandescent steps forward to beam out a different authority
A blush, the glow in dimpled glass falls to yellows of a night light and blues at the death of day
They transform to internal Stars in a sea of the outside, distant larger world

Doors that fall nearly open from one room to the next
inviting an entry, or suggesting a hurried exit

The transparency of glass like this is as simple as the outside world but as hard to understand as the security of the interior.
