Jim
elbowed Jane
dear, I taste a
tear
in my T
Sshhh
The jabberwocky sups.
Alice hands out papyrus
And quill
The mice wait.
The Queen of Spades
Digs
Into minds not her own
Seeking
She knows not what -
An Elusive
An Evanescent
An Ephemeral
A transitory moment
With which to complete her dinner.
2
It's
just not
a
coincidence?
Transmute
the singularity
in forgettable occurences
The mirror lies
Emptiness
has no face
But
a fascinating blankness
Like Walking Along
The suspension points.
3
sideways
glance
squinting
left
in
the mirror
a-head
behind a mind
caught
inbetween
reality
and a marginally
illusory
perception of now
in
which
the
mirror lies
lies
the mirror.
4
reflections
a
mirror line
geometry of a thought
facing
the other way
the
other way facing
mute
the lies
words that
some and where
never reached my ears
here
5
you told me that
1000 times I’m
glad you’re here
seeing me
in you.
Where is Raven?
Red shrouds over
mirrors
in which
our futures lie.
We woke up well
the Mirrored Ones.
6
re(d)member
Mirrors are not doors
liquid surfaces
waiting
to become depth
waiting
like time
counting the steps
to nowhere
7
You’ll need a
telephone
an old one
like a wave
mirror
but not that
hot.
A good start
for sharks
can I have
your
wonderland
shoes - ok
KIDDING!
heat waves on
phone lines
I’m sorry
about before
make it simple
please
this mirrored
face.
8
language doesn't fit my
experiences
and voices are full of mirrors.
.indeed.
on the landing there is a phone,
and beside that hung a
phone book.
Put some here "there"
ssssh...this will impress her.
(the
shark was extremely economical with the truth)
and now?
then
i looked down here
and
seen the car
and
i said to myself, that's it
i'll go shopping.
9
We leave
before dark
but
not for
shopping.
i saw a wonderland
lily
i
think
nothing like i
ever felt
pure
animal instinct
you never know
what
you’re made of
making out like
some kind
of mirrored
hero.
10
i cannot rest from travel
developing the shadows of a hurt
my shoes are starting to dance.
.......................already.
AWAY there is only distance
say no more.
the air is soft
the luggage heavy
shouldn't carry the mirror along
the whole room is in it!
11
Scream for help
if you can
whisper.
Where?
When?
Understood.
10.46
no, make that 10.50
12 hours later.
grey sky - that’s my report.
what
happened??
mirror work is not an exact science
that’s what happened.
Look down
the patterns on the
surface are glossy
and her lips pale.
12
10.50
numbers to collect
before they run away
sliding on the walls like shadows
sunset
a daily disappearance
nothing happens
that tomorrow is not
where?
your
face
i
read
glossy
like a magazine
wait for no wonderland
its just not.
13
outside wonderland
(of which there isn’t?)
spinning air
blades rotate
dust lifts
discarded shrouds
dump the site
of mangled steel
bringing her
-
barbed wire
she walked
first.
A life for
a mirrored life.
You don’t have to do this
you were right about
what you said earlier -
the
light on her hair is cruel
and I’ve taken Them
at Their word.
14
Not where it should be
round and round
trapped is the circle
master the puzzle. now.
Discover the truth
Steel and steal sound
the same
but still lips of ruffled words
splattered mirror
reverse the image
no way back
dusty tracks fill my mind
not the destination
I cant remember if it was actually..
me.
15
Try
again?
the
bone slums
did
we get there?
the
light is strange
in
reversed images
the voltage low.
pedestrian
puzzle areas
made
public
get ready
this is for real.
looking
for
a
sliding door
and
remnants of other worlds
a
mirror in mind condition.
16
the story has disappeared into the mirror
unfolding
Compelling weavers of layers
the suburban reality
everyday
distant
however
obscure
each with a tale to tell.
False refuges
is it a matter of
choices?
THE DOOR SLIDES
conquered resistance
let
me take another look
i
know it's down there
17
two miles
out
Down
There
leviathan
rises.
water
swept primal mirrors
how could
we ever win?
turn
around
before we
drown
in our
own reflection -
This was The One
where
we
could not win
flames
shells - 10 miles up the coast
the
signature is rising.
18
Rising like a dragon -
A sign of changes
sliced one by one
thinly
fruits bleeding juice
dry earth
petrichor
blending from
Twisted shrubbery
only
no prints to leave
on fossil water
gone is The One.
19
Do you mean we can win
This One?
Face our reflections?
Raven
the winged
ones come
heart beats
earth shake
the bridge
must go
take cover
little one
that’s all you have
the
footsteps are
harder
the rhythms
faster
enfolding clouds
to swallow the mirrored
bridge.
between
here and there
I am become death
destroyer of worlds
there is much you
do not understand.
20
trust
taking the long view-
-can help
its a reflection
hanging from a past event
a mirage?
no! an abstract
question
who's there?
the man of glass
from his fragility
hides in the mirror
shrouded in suspicion
the
earth shakes again
i'm leaving to find some air.
21
Breach in
a blurred reflection
she’s
chasing the rabbit you know
Surreal
Red shoes.
stay in
the Now
listen to
me
its
snowing - I cannot catch you
if silent foot falls
rage against ongoing shows.
lonely
shriek
deserted
deserts
astral
planes fly overhead
I tried
to control my tears
this is
just a memory
its not
real
that he
came
looking
for you
22
the rabbit has pointed teeth
ancestral hunger
unforgiving memory
burns the mind
shadows follow her steps
questions disguised as
statements
rhetorical danger
nothing has yet been said
surpass the discourse
left behind forms - not to be rediscovered
only signs matter
open your eyes, wipe the
tears
time to go - don't listen
the tapping is getting faster and faster
23
Change
- Gold shoes
MAN! what
do you want?
Want?
what’s that?
I really cant say
the
shouting started
again
in voices
so low
they
turned the mirrored lock.
I like
my life
so why
don’t you disappear?
Hold her
back
madness
through the steam
I said
apologize
ENOUGH!
this is
over.
It was my
mistake
so what?
You’re
grounding us
Trying
to recall our memories?
24
i don't remember much
before i knew who i was
but now that the weekend is approaching
la luna si presenta in
faticosa quadratura, per
i heard a voice, didn't i?
never
mind the One inside your head
.
.
gold
shoes tapping, AGAIN.
run
now, run
no mis-take
pay them no nevermind
they
belong to a box
ostensibly to bridge both those worlds
together. Unsurprisingly.
mirror, mirror.. who did you lock in?
25
You mean
I wont remember
what happens today
today
locked in
companion
to jet lag.
Vandag was nie
hier nie?
I wont remember I had
The One
I wont
remember
anything.
Why am I
holding the burial shroud
Who
died?
Rewind the blade
GO!
Why do you all want me
Aside
from the secrets I hold?
Lifted above the ground
10.59
One second to
Strike.
26
not here, right now
too far the dreaming has gone
today is a repetition of yesterday
he wanted to sit outside
As if that mattered.
words made the room rotate
can you hear the wheezing sound?
oppressive
insistent
like a secret wanting
to drown
there is a shark in the pool
"it's pure
coincidence"
10.60
i lost a second.
quick i'll go off into the dark
27
Far flung words
their life
breathlessness/dying
as they are hurled to
abuse
reflections
of what we once were.
don’t USE
us
to maim
we just wish to BE
More than
a prediction
politics
are poetry
for them
the truth is a lie
the good
news?
this
is us
that is
them
just
sad reflections.
