I
sit in this well of stone
of
limestone silence, circling
and
semicircling around me
I
sit on a narrow ledge
convenient
for sitting
preferably
in silence
the
empty sky is loud
above
me
It
is a sculpture I sit within,
a
cocoon of stone of two rooms
one
a single space
with
a turret, entered
by
bending low before
standing
up again, a bow
of
obeisance.
Two
rooms, two thresholds
within
a threshold, one
equipped
with a back entrance
an
escape, unexpected
Photographs: The permanent art
installation “Threshold” by Roger Feldman, Laity Lodge near Leakey, Texas.
