A Peaceful Contradiction
Related Poem Content Details
from the 4 corners of this tower lumped on a map
the best magician wins the day / thinks
he’s invisible / white rabbits hide in cupboards
in boxes in hats / a peaceful contradiction exists /
a plan for a park a plantation for immaculate thoughts
for flower beds which eat fragrances all year round /
from this monolithic inheritance avenues spoke outwards
to capture returning prodigals / ancestral
dropouts / the multiple births of children
the sun’s last sentence of the day
I pictured an almost princess in a tower idea. A look from above at all of the options available...the dreams and imagination that continues to flower. One day the magician wins, one day another idea....it is within the peaceful contradiction of our dreams, our reality, and our destiny that life occurs. All wrapping themselves around us like a vine...who will win today?
ReplyDeleteI like your response.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to hear the poet read it because I'm not sure how it should go. I played with it a little but couldn't find anything that worked for me.
