Kim Rodrigues Poet Ekphrasis

Kamille Corry-Tear in the Wind

Cornflower eyes are selfie-less.
My copper-toned hair, conspicuous.
My playful scarf binds my cares,
Softly flits about
My windblown countenance.
I lose myself in perspicacity,
Alluring and enigmatic,
Expressive but not yielding,
Meandering through past times.
Not tactless - the mirror is gold.
Indecent exposure is snapped,
But I enhance my craft
Against my will with the permanence
Of paint, setting my eyes on the brink,
A musing on the West Yorkshire Moors.
I am more than a Muir’s ghost,
I am a sumptuous recollection of Eve.

Jaymee Thomas January 13, 2024 at 2:05 PM I cannot say enough about how intelligent, creative and subtle this piece is. It is art. In particular that you end it with a recollection of Eve, playing on the nighttime description and the myth and all that intimates after having invoked Muir's ghost in an earlier stanza. Outstanding. Congratulations! Kim Rodrigues January 13, 2024 at 7:50 PM Thank you so much! :)
