atrium (day 326)

sloughing through Schleiermacher
coughing through Calvin
bartering with Barth
bulldozing through Bultmann
mystified by Moltmann
my scholastic chamber of horrors
transformed
by a weaver of words
into an atrium of Angels
piercing a paned prison
with penetrating
liberating
Light

Thanks.

(*inspired by my former 'study closet' at Princeton Seminary transformed into the centerpiece of an atrium which hosted poet laureate Billy Collins for reading and conversation, 2 Nov 2016)
