Empty WIndowA Poem by PerditionShe was far from an empty window Hers was not the mind’s umbilical freedom. Hers was the ground and strew, the rain on stones white as apparition. Once fooled then strung, one against another, she could face the disgrace of amputations in gated calculation. A clarity’s hand held high over the deep black memory. A spit of burst against the swallowed air and finally the flesh against the hairs of nettled will. She spared her permanence the weight of color, and when faced with the welder's torch she did as all that darkness could; refusing to fade. A rising age, withholding years for
their insults and stutters; for their hemisphere in the umbels of hemlock, and never pretending to remain undone. or even to remain. Knowing only that hers was a self invaded reality, she was forced into an empty window where everything pressed through glass passed and vanished. Her final amputation, the lamenting. © 2017 PerditionReviews
