Disremembered fragments like
mirrored phantom limbs dangling
animated in wait
to catch a sideways glance
from the lone traveller
disappear into retrospection
and oblivion by negation...
In silent reckoning
do yet unseen things
take form in vast opening
hollowed sockets.

Hey, Martin. That's a quite crucial part of the piece. I wanted to suggest that we necessarily become integral to some experiences in such a manner that we are not easily extricated from them. Sometimes, they simply take on an existence of their own--apart from us--yet never are fully separated.
I thank you, sir, for commenting.

Hello, Ray and Stu,
Thanks so much. I get the feeling this one needs a little trimming, but I put it up anyway.
The last verse sorta leaves an open ending..glad you liked it, Stu. And, Ray, that isn't the first mention of Bruce Lee in your comments about my stuff. I was curious and found a clip last evening..

"Destroy the image and you will break the enemy"--now that's a great line.
Thanks again,
elP
argh that last verse is stunning!
While reading this elP I thought straight away of the Bruce Lee mirror scene . A very uncomfortable and fascinating read as you have caught a fleeting threat it seems that cannot be pinned down. This hazy journeying seems to be a recurring theme and always a interesting and informative in a mystical way. Wonderful last line ..
Ray
