Cloud Gate Millennium Park, Chicago Silver archway, upturned u. Watch the specks of colour as you walk toward it. One of them is you. Seek the hue of your t-shirt, a splash of handbag. There you are, high in a corner, near sky. And though close now, you’re small as though viewed through the narrow end of field glasses. Come underneath. Crane your neck to see a face you’ve known since birth peering down, shining and safe like a waking dream of your afterlife. Stroll until nightfall. Bowed skyline lit and reflected, the Bean glitters like Lake Michigan in the dark. Only here, you can touch the cool surface with no risk of falling in.
