Mirror Image Poems
All the noise in her brain
clamped to the page
in simple refrains
for the wise old sage
could never be
simply a victim
of her poetry.
Drawn in by loose letters
needing a call to order,
the words rattle forth
before they destroy her.
Mirror image poems
half form in her mind
like books on shelves
Read the rest of the poem Show less
in solid singling lines.
In the beginning
was the word
blurred, obscured
theatrically absurd.
Thin blue lines of worldly despair
words all lost to childhood prayers
her deficiencies were
but a failure of words
before she grew horns
on her tongue and her curves.
