Stained Glass

by Lee (libra) - Not entered

She had a different wish than most
she dreamed in other colors
purple
if she died she said
she wanted white
roses at her funeral
and Canon in D
it froze me
to see her reflected
pale in that cruel
flat slab
glazed-over and painted like
stained glass
she prayed that god
would make her beautiful
God knows
she always was.

Reason for writing:

    fragility and the breaking point
