Poetry is a fun-house mirror
that bends and warbles and confuses
and yet affirms the realities of life's images
Poetry is a reflection on still waters
that blurs the horizon between
the touchable and the unattainable
Poetry is a window through which
one may view another's world
through their eyes and fingertips
Poetry is a sharp edged glass
that cuts through all ropes and boundaries
straight to the bloody trueness that lies in all things
Poetry is a rear-view mirror
looking back at the scattered leaves
and black birds along side the tire tracks of an old chevy
