9. Glass, Cut: VIII
The door is shut, the window un-sees,
The utter white falls into place
as they begin reaching out to each other
in the mingled light
of questions and answers
left to be settled
by a hand on a hand, that says
yes
and Maedhros learns anew the meaning of glass
as it was meant
Wrapped in long hair, he knows
that he is a flame,
and this is a storm
and Fingon –
transparent, cloudless Fingon will
surround him, and protect him, and hallow him.
