Got flowers in my feelings
hearts in the mail
punishments for healing
thumbs on every scale

Weighed all my options
talked to all the folk
no additional reservation
providence bespoke

There are moments to notice
First light in the real
praying over every plate
like its my last meal

1908 Leaded Favnile glass
Tiffany Studios, Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC
Tiffany's work heralded landscape as an appropriate alternative to figural subjects for memorial windows and conferred religious significance upon the natural world. This window, originally installed in a mausoleum in a Brooklyn cemetery, employs a familiar motif, the river of life, with a slender stream zigzagging through mountains and spilling into a placid pool in the middle ground of the composition. Masses of irises and two magnolia trees dominate the foreground and aptly illustrate the coloristic properties of Tiffany's famed opalescent glass. Folding and manipulation of the glass while it was in its semi-molten state produced flowers that simulate the texture of real magnolia blossoms.

she strikes her pose
on toes
perfectly placed

a bloom
of painted medicine
all in good taste

a statuesque citizen
whispers wisdom
in halls too faint

impressions from
the light of the world
she made sacrosanct

take that passion
and put it in a song
paint your love’s spark
and right those wrongs

weave your heart
into every little thread
put those quiet nightmares
back down to bed

the poetic pulse pursuing
all you’ve got to give
hallowed by thy name
capture the life worth lived
