there they lay
against the opening
within the wall
paned in glass
their purpose
is to cover
all that can be seen
outside and in
some consider them
simple decorations
a single layer
carefully patterned
this thin material’s
translucent weaving
between worlds
reveals fuzzy movement
change the material
add another layer
fabric thick
rooms become opaque
blocking everything
from a double sided view
as though there are
no other worlds
a yank of a cord
twist of a rod
opens and closes
the dividing barrier
revealing only
what you want
enhancing views
along the way
