Juxtaposed

Dark and warm

Brilliant and freezing

A seething paradox

Of hidden truths

And exposed illusions.

Like Escher they

Bend back on each other

Until I am unsure

If I am living

Or being lived.

[Mark Pearce]

This one requires some knowledge, but it's still accessible and the finish is a grand moment.

[Mark Pearce]

Hey James --

A piece that the reader can't quite grab onto.

I love the finish. It jerks you away from your expectations.
