Abstract
And the building stood in its stillness Paul Downes And the building stood in its stillness, lending shape for the anxious and their sway of visitors, sucked into its doors —a front for dreams and footsteps enmeshed within the same airs. And there were graces for the many to unfold. They came to dream their secular dreams and yet, pray to a distant god for mercy and for love. It was a lot to ask for as their breaths steamed up the frosted windows, as the glass seemed to undulate as though hope regained a shape, and could be touched with timid fingers as the building stood in its stillness . . .
