Glass
House
The interior of the Crystal Palace
Has an arched central hall of glass;
The arches exist not because an architect
imagined a rolling light wave on walls,
but because a gardener did not wish
to see the great elm trees felled;
And so he got his giant glass house;
The shape is owed to plant life;
This is why the vertical
Outweighs the horizontal;
A sacral jubilate space
Extends in leaves of ecstasy;
Trees long for verticality.
