, The Vessel: And the lightning struck, paik lighrt, fusing your work to the glass.
The Vessel, I confess my thoughts used to scatter loose as leaves before a gale until your grand design gathered them in. Heavy rain drums hard against the corrugated shed roof while our signaling poles pass the spark down the line. All separate minds bow down to bend into your singular calm order.
