Adrian Green

Reflections in the glass

An innocent juxtaposition
as you move on the stair
making an image
the artist never foresaw.

Two strangers who meet
in the holding of eyes
make a shrine of this place

afternoon sun at the window,
and stillness, a further dimension
haunting the gallery we dream in.

With each movement, we pose
another question
outside the frame

and fill spaces between
the artist and now
with the silence of lovers.
