i held the gates of
heaven open wide just
enough for the wind
to whisk damask,
lace into its stream
cut the clouds high
and dry
bereft of reason--
if i were to thrust
my hand into the
puckered glass and
pull out his sword
((an added ligament of blood))
i'd wish to be the Gates themselves
-- libra lies.

Very unique piece and take on the picture. Lovely form , although a couple of line breaks seemed to interrupt the flow a little. Thanks for your fine entry.
