Behind the wall we feel safety. Behind the glass we feel apart from the outside world. We create barriers for protection, for isolation, for peace of mind, our own kind of silence. We invite shelter, but we are not safe behind the artifice we try to erect. One or more impacts, leaves shattered glass, shattered concepts of safety or freedom, or quiet.
“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
