Madonna Della Strada's Echo
for Sarah Jenkins
She was meant to be seen, but not
Now – hidden within campus, beside
Blind waters, boulders, few boaters from far
Away harbors. The Drive was to come
Across her edifice, she was to face
Thousands of men everyday and chime
Despite their blazing by, despite their rage
And soundproof barriers they caged
Themselves within. That road never came.
So she gazes upon the lake,
Sings thanks unto its surface and hears
Her sole voice bounce back in refrain.
