Police stations
And hospitals
Apartment buildings
And condemned spaces
Secret headquarters
And schools of magic
And through it all
A grand parade
Of faces, of beings
The beauty hardly noticed
Then turn around
To discover
Yet another wonder
Leaves me to wonder
How many others
Reflect upon this other
Gods and philosophy
Politics and economy
Then fall
To our basest instincts
Defending them
Proselytising them
Exploiting them
Reaching up
Where black kites soar
In deep blue skies
With wispy cloud
And from the top
The calls to prayer
Are sung five times
To rally faithful
Not intended
To diminish
The faithful
But to invite
Intricate details
Inlaid in stone walls
Indicate a beauty
And subtlety
Beckoning exploration
So I settled in
To setup the shot
When a little girl
Ran through it
So I fell in love
With her too
