“The window I saw myself in was a room”
I stopped and listened to the artificially repeating sound of a waterfall.
I witnessed the Grand Canyon through the cool glass of a car windscreen.
I knelt and worshipped a reproduction of El Greco’s Agony in the Garden (1590).
High up on the right is the moon, by whose illumination Christ beholds a cup.
