suspended mid-intersection
waiting for your turn (a grey dusty morning)
encapsulated in your colorless car
flashing hues from passing cars behind
illuminate your profile
--like a runway model on changing background--
your face (disregarding the gay colors) remains
unperturbable;
unexcitable;
uninteresting.
“It is as though the poem, through its exuberance, awakened new depths in us. […] And this is also true of a simple experience of reading. The image offered us by reading the poem now becomes really our own. It takes root in us. It has been given us by another, but we begin to have the impression that we could have created it…[the image] becomes a new being…by making us what it expresses. […] Here expression creates being” (Bachelard).
