1.
\nDry and crackled, I wade through words like chaff.
\nHow can the mind’s eye truly imagine
\nmemories of the fallen,
\nor empathize with words
\nthe artistry of forgotten thoughts?<\/p>\n
2.
\nSearching endlessly for the point
\nI clutch vainly for the parts of the jigsaw –
\nself-congratulate my analysis,
\nthe image sits comfortably on my retina
\nthe puzzle fits, the parts are complete.<\/p>\n
3.
\nBut what was that? A nuance, an image?
\nI beat the pieces back in, but it’s the old dilemma –
\nthe parts of the story were blurred from the start
\nis this my jigsaw or His?<\/p>\n

\nOnce I could see the purity of words,
\nshameless without the alacrity of sense;
\nI yet cling to the Eden of rhythm
\nlulling me to sleep like a child –
\nmirror to reality, or harmony of deceit?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
