Steps rush and tongues hushed, two cups; on the edge of a table sunlight and shadow creates a rescue from turning pages Between revolutions and writhing, across space, you vacantly stare at the ash of my cigarette while dysfunction and disease dream of sacred place, electro-shock, Bob Dylan and destitute people Smoke slithers silently upward, the lines poetry takes as it makes a freeway through empty rooms
Poetry rising from the ashes of destitution, giving colour in a black and white world. When sunlight sends shadows into my art studio that is when I stop lifting brushes. Scottish Parliament is obssessed with cigarette ash while all around social decay abounds. I don't know if my reading of your poem was your intention, but it is written in a style that is accessible to any number of interpretations.
I am thankful to the one who recommended your work.
And I like the analogy of "two cups on the edge of a table."
I have to agree with Dr. Lilly, the last two lines place a unique perspective on this - like searching through wilderness to find the water that causes artistic growth.
The drug called "The Shari" has been used for vision quests over many years. But, when all the rivers start drying up, the tribe must send a young hunter named Tomás on a much more important trip through the Amazon.
