symmetry, symmetry

our corridors, corridors

filled with libraries of hindsight

Escher knows, he knows

how many ways round are actually

up

chicaned by history

the fish hook in your flesh

yes yes

gills

she breathes between her ribs

she is mythical

because

she has to be

amongst the dead

threads of ivy

using stucco plastered walls

to sketch their thin

thoughts on leaving

she

spins a cue ball noun

into a pyramid of words

wishing ink

would take its shape

unassisted as the sky leaks

poems

A lot of wonderful imagery here. Actually, almost all the senses activated! Great. Love the sky leaking poems!

hmmm, nicely wound around the act of writing, this poem takes us into the heart of the creative process and along the way we see so many good lines. It's like watching words play on the playground of the mind. Nicely done.

Yes, this is truly about that, those unwritten words that become a life. You sing my heart cords sweet friend. (Hugs)Indigo
