If Only Poem by Stephen Brian Brady

If Only



which divinity has revealed
our known universe
so well concealed

now depicted as spiralling galaxies
two newspaper columns wide

while just outside the double-glazing
the spider
tugs at a thread of his web
disengaging a leaf
which spins away into eternity

if only
I could formulate a question
if only
my reflection in the glass
wasn't just another preconception

waiting for the last train
which is coming-up too fast
