~Jean Cocteau

Death, however, does itch. It itches all the time. It is always with us, scratching at some inner door. Mirroring, softly, barely audibly, just under the membrane of consciousness. Hidden in disguise, leaking out in a variety of symptoms. It is the wellspring of many of our worries, stresses, and conflicts.

Who doesn’t have a dark place somewhere inside him that comes out sometimes when he’s looking in a mirror? Dark and light, we are all made out of shadows like the shapes on a motion-picture screen. A lot of people think that the function of the projector is to throw light on the screen, just as the function of the story-teller is to stop fooling around and simply tell what happened, but the dark places must be there too, because without the dark places there would be no image and the figure on the screen would not exist.
~MacDonald Harris

In the distorting mirror of your mind, an angel can seem to have a devil’s face.

The Exercise

Poetastic Mirror

One may be their scholar
Even clever with words
Passably good with ideas
Ardent and earnest
Eager for the struggle
To wade in and try again
But poetry wants something more…
More patience perhaps

Poetry needs the love of it
No secret, this much is known
In the form of another try
Repeated tortured final edits
This fervency needs no push or coaxing
Evidence need not be bruited or shown
The eternal shine, the passion for truth
Like true love, the poem is never done

A poem can be anything jotted down
But poetry reaches, digs for the right word
The visual, the vivid, the visceral word
There exists the rare-gem poem
The great herds of quotable poetry
Then there are these exercises
Good luck dredging
This puddle for gold

~

fantasy #19

oh, to be your mirror
to see you from your bath
bathe in lux of your eyes
pave beauty with disguise
and make up as you ready

Cause Effects

Scripted pages improve on love
Mirror passion so love survives
Words propose, attempt to move
Reach to teach when love arrives

Pre-approved and tailored stories
First draft edit free of theories
Love at cost, no debts nor wages
Primrose path, the lie outrages

Forbidden love a hidden truth
The bane of ages tempting youth
Poetic thoughts tight and taut
Else life alone seeds a drought

Each calls to each, unknown dates
Future fated, destined mates
Dreamed up plans abort unstated
Wait better times still uncrated

Plodding bore the words of history
Lack the punch and pull of mystery
Love lends more to flowered poetry
Than words award to budding love

~

Extreme Center

Her impassioned love, so intense
If diluted to cover the world
Would equal to a fair tolerance
For everyone, if not an actual liking
or
His focused hatred, so lasered
If spread to coat all of mankind
Would amount to a bare tolerance
Of anyone, up to an active distaste
or
Join the cluster, joint center of inanity
Mooing contentment, fenced safe in their sanity
Question identity, living life at extremity
Justifying the Fall, mirror turned to the wall

soft green grass
roadside

tomorrow morning

but tonight

The Ask

Say capture me with sculpture
and a chiseling marblist will oblige
Say mirror me with your music
and a composing conductor will try
Say target me with your wisdom
and a barefoot sage will ask you why

Say preach to me true scriptures
and a thousand scammers hope you buy
Say bring us peace and prosperity
and a promising politician will lie
Say love me first and best and most
and honest love will wilt and die

That mirror, that’s one I hate to let go, he said. That was my daughter’s the whole time she was growing up. It probably seen her more than me – everything from a baby up to twenty years old.

~Theodore Sturgeon

Something is sticking out its tongue at me from the corner of my mirror.

See, when you drive home today, you’ve got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you’ve got a little bitty rearview mirror.
