Hey, pretty nice style, though I'm not connecting with some of your images.
"Mindless anticipation" seems contradictory. If one is truly anticipating something,
their thoughts are focused.

If this "Images IDLY wandering by," why are they "fleeting moments of painful
views?" Seems "fleeting" & "idly" are contradictory.

"Polished so I can see inside?" I've never polished a window,
but I'm pretty sure it would make a blurry mess to try and look through.

"The graven windows cold reminder
You’re stuck with this for life"...maybe I'M stuck this way.....




Reflections of past transgressions, Cursing and misunderstandings, painful views,
Fearful misgivings tainted truths, Wasted moments worried nights...with this much
grief, it's hard to imagine him searching for a respite by taking a closer look at all this.
More likely he'd write a suicide note! smile
