Our Glass

Something so closed it opens on you,
Wrote Barbara Wuest of a window
In an issue of Paris Review.

Save the line and preserve the phrasing,
Since it feels apt for more than windows--
Everything in the world, for instance,

From whatever position you take—
The beyond-conversational world,
The world beyond shame and confession,

The world that does not come with stories
Shaped for easier understanding,
Something so closed it opens on you.
