11/17/2017 Leaded Light By Lynn WhiteLeaded Light The glass is cut, so carefully cut, so carefully arranged to break up the light as it reflects it. Smooth joints enhanced with curving strips of soft lead to fragment the light. Light cracked by lead, bright white or gilded by sunshine or bent into rainbows refracted to paint colours in reflected shadows to fall in straight shafts onto grey paving. The reflection is fragmenting as it falls breaking up the grey, so that even the shafts of multi-coloured illumination can make no sense of it. There’s no sense to be made. The paving is crazy now, simply crazy. Bio: Lynn White lives in north Wales. Her work is influenced by issues of social justice and events, places and people she has known or imagined. She is especially interested in exploring the boundaries of dream, fantasy and reality. Her poem 'A Rose For Gaza' was shortlisted for the Theatre Cloud 'War Poetry for Today' competition 2014. This and many other poems, have been published in recent anthologies including - Stacey Savage’s ‘We Are Poetry, an Anthology of Love poems’; Community Arts Ink’s ‘Reclaiming Our Voices’; Vagabond Press’s, ‘The Border Crossed Us’; ‘Degenerates - Voices For Peace’, ‘Civilised Beasts’ and ‘Vagabonds: Anthology of the Mad Ones’ from Weasel Press; ‘Alice In Wonderland’ by Silver Birch Press, and many rather excellent on line and print journals.
