A Mirror Floating in Water

another poem from a while ago



1.

Turn the facet
Let water run out

Reach for the knob
And turn it.

Light

Open drawer
Fingers touching cotton

Phone ringing
Blaring, no one is on the other end

Four tablespoons of coffee
Two and a half cups of water

Fresh

Walk out and step into the dismal sunlight

2.

Contradiction at every corner
The world is disappearing, fading
Inanimate figure, pass by
Turn at the light

Empty street, car, single
The world is a sick habit

Forgetting what it is to be remembered
A ghost in a dead man’s dream
A voyeur’s punishment

Invisible sight
Patternless, yet with so many echoes
Dissolving into water on a hot frying pan
Hear the sizzle,
As it becomes a puff of smoke in the imagination

Sick clammy hands
Sun stricken eyes
It will be no different from tomorrow
than yesterday

Strut, strut you poor player
Sunlight upon does not shine the gnomon
Why should it?

Have not the time to awake
And remember the snow
Desiccant in last end

3.

Falling, into the hole-burnt silk
Only to come out,
To an endless record, regurgitating
Odd things of life

Footsteps echoing throughout the hall
Giving awareness of spatiality
Knock, knock says the floor
As if some sick joke

4.

Turn at the other corner
Where it is the same again
Inanimate figure, pass by

Seagulls swarm around
But here they call them baygulls
Everything is fading into the dismal sunlight
Now fading

Fading


Fading
