Impressions Imperfect

Reflections are divergent 
images composite
negatives of dreams 
an alternate stream. 

Calculations of precise reality reflected.
diverge and coalesce? In memories 
Stacked as photographs fade…

Reflections are divergent 
images composite
negatives of dreams 
an alternate life
not all is at it seems.

Things unseen best left dismember
in the bloody history of my infancy!
Coagulates impressions like rusty blood…

As impression imperfect of pictures; vacations, 
holidays, Christmases, and life images delineate 
go fuzzy pale, fade, and blow away…lost in memory!

A story in the light of a bitter 
sweet son a future left unseen 
and in between shadow and reality.

Divergent reflections 
composite perfect impressions 
in alternant history 
refract 
retract 
subtract & divide 
impressions imperfect 
feeling the suicide!

The shadows in all these photographs 
burn in the light as future sons, diverged 
impressions perfect 

image compromise
comprehended 
and surmised…
