Hidden From The I

A strange piece of prose, inspired by something Charlie said...

Looking at half-eaten projects, she begins her day.
Time seems as restless as her core: her content has paradoxical wings.

Dichotomies of worlds above and chthonian earth, eat her up throughout the day. Until she finds herself in busy-intestine-streets. (Imagines) a voice (that) rises from the crowd:
  “We died a myriad deaths,
the question is, who killed us?”
Greasy rain and mud, clogging clouds and dusty cars. Genocides are not necessarily where they are expected to be.

Counting signs of the times as meaningless as time itself, she collects intuitions and sign-posts in her basket of omens.

Sudden is the choice to take the dead-end street, turning her back on the emerald green light that covers like powder the dirty façade of a department store. Needles of water fall from the sky, unsteady cobblestones under her feet: she discovers the narrow street. Windows only see windows, eye to eye contact with emptiness, while the sunlit spots are only a few steps away.

Irony.

Narrower, the street’s arrow leads to the wound of city-life, shamefully hidden from the eye. And she keeps walking, just to prove what she knows already. It must be that blood asks for recognition as wine, for a glass.

Now, she touches the wound - its palpitating ridge of flesh that feels like the edge of her world - and is ready to finally unwind. Then, it’s time to go backwards. Sdrawkcab og ot emit s’ti neht.

Dualities and oxymoron stick to her head and tongue like a well-known song. Sweet-sour, half-squeezed lemons on the run. In every silence, a revolution, in every word, a victory. She hums. In every silence, a pregnancy, in every word, a birth.
Clearly.

...intestinal street of musings, Axilea...eccentric in the best sense, almost intellectually quirky, but the threads are there and this works...if poetry is meant to 'work' in the first place...yes, I echo Kate's final comment - more please!

Now this is the kind of "strange piece of prose" and experimentation I had hoped to be indulging in during the "freedoms" of this NaPoWriMonth of April, Axilea. But my brain seems doggedly rigged and inflexible, clinging to its own safe roof and rafters. Each "bite" is worth savouring and dwellin in/on but it is the relative clarity of the final up-summing that I hold foetally within me, somehow. Some lively and lovely imagery: eye to eye contact of windows, intestine streets... and I, too, have a thing waiting to be nettirw sdrawkcab... though, to be literal, the letters, too have to be reversed-out, thus impossible. More please! :)) xx

I totally "get" this poem (I think)... I too twist every sound--every word in my mind to find new meaning-- to reshape occurrences- moods-- moments into something meaningful. Word-collecting.

It's like yesterday. I opened my door, and heard those crazy finches again in my neighbor's tree, and I pondered on it-- how would I word that sound? You hear something someone says, and find a poem in it lurking somewhere around that one syllable next to that other word-- ink it down inside your brain-- collect it.

Great write. --Charlie
