Shuttered Windows

To speak of the smell & feel
of books, the erotics of the text,
has begun to sound perverse

One by one, the old places of worship
temples, bookstores, Nature herself
become quaint and are vacated

In their stead a gleaming, ambitious screen
part shuttered window, part distorting mirror
full of wandering, restless spirits

Like so many ghosts in limbo —

free of the tyranny of bodies,
yet aching for their phantom limbs.
