ILLUSIONS – OBSERVED FROM A MOVING TRAIN


Illusion
Is… larger than life
and darkness
the belief enhancer
that nothing is
… as it is.
Traffic lights –
fleetingly
like dropped
Christmas illuminations
Conspire magically
with distance, eluding
tomorrow’s back-flip
into yesterday memories…
until reality –
“tomorrow never comes”
Is… glimpsed
in passing,
captured
between eye-blinks.


A green belt slips
beyond the train.
Desire
Imprints the idyllic
moment-colored image –
surface reflective
window divided…
greener
for being untouchable.



TIMELSS DECONSTRUCTION

Old house
deconstructing…
stone
timelessly pitted
framed
wood splintered decay –
a photograph?
Shattered
eye-hole windows
Witness
structured illusions –
Speak
soundlessly…
as if risen
to abandonment
under impartial translucence –
clouds
infinitely shaded
from gray
to gray,
embedded
in consciousness.
To the land
Return…
sky unfeeling
a magical mirror
Is change,
no change…
leaving
the temporary image.
