Pedestals
Unlike old wine
dismantled pedestals echo the memory
of their upright shadows
and commonalities point to their darkness
as though it was still real.
Shadows die hard:
only experience and time will dissipate them.
They remain imprinted
on the eyes of the naïve.
Dismantled pedestals
no longer block the view
of a sun, rising.
Peter Bisson, SJ
