What I see when I look at the building now

What I see when I look at the building now: the way stone holds the light differently on its north face, older, slower to warm. Windows that are not blank but thick with the presence of what's behind them, people I cannot see but whose weight I feel in the glass. The way the building doesn't perform visibility; it just stands, and that standing is itself a kind of witness, it has held weather, held voices, held weight for a long time. There's no separation between the act of looking and the act of it being there. The threshold where I'm standing right now, looking at it, is part of what makes it real. Not symbolic. Actual.
