Description
The face
Mirrored
Staring back
At you
Has changed
A hundred times
Or more
Before
This is nothing new
Circumstance
Tricks you now
With different
Perception
A wicked
Parallax view
I wish
You'd never
Had to see
Hair
Rekindles
And even
Should it not
What might
That matter
Really
Skin
More aged
And sallow
Than you
Ever recollect
A mere reflection
From inside out
Of change
(not really time)
Chemically induced
Reactive
To the introduced
And unfamiliar
Ahhh...
But see the light, Bukowski?
Within those eyes
The undeniable
The glint
Of madness
From within
That still
Shiningly
Remains
Concentrate
There lies
The focus
Grasp it hard
In headlock
If need tap
The youth-born anger
But too
Be still
And soft
As your most
Achingly tender
Heart-recollection
Hold fast there
Inside the center
Let the bastards
Yes and No
Tire themselves
In the chase
Wildly
About the circumference
Soon they'll collapse
Exhausted
But
Not you
No
Dennett
Not you
So shun the skyhooks
And give
Righteous thanks to...
Goodness
The sheerly perfect
And gloriously divine
Madness itself...
Will safely see you through

I could not appreciate subtleties of your text, English not being my native language, but I felt the compassion and the affection which you had for a person at the border of our daily world, while wanting to reassure it known what it is for you... of where this abstract, where the center is not fixed, and the rather fuzzy image. Very beautiful gesture of friendship, even of humanism. Thank you.

Your words take me back to a time, less than optimal - to friends, no longer extant. Wonderfully written. You have left me moved, and close to speechless.

When I look at this composition, a word comes directly :
A star is born.
Makes me think at the cosmos, the vaste univers where all our dreams lies as the mysteries of what we really are.

Your poem is masterfully written and very moving, dear Nancy, and your composition is powerful and beautiful.
