The Pantheon in Rome, the oculus
allowing the sun to illuminate
the coffered dome. The Roman populace
come here to worship God and ruminate
on the accomplishments of the ancients.
Millions of people from around the world
come here too, and they wait with great patience
as the lines to see it are long and curled
around the city block. What accomplished
race had once lived here and built this marvel
clad in stone with bronze sculptures and polished
bright as the morning sky, built from marble,
the resting place of Raphael, the house
of gods and each and every goddess spouse.
