Notes About The Poem

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FREED VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' (intuitive cadence)& so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment

Relativity a Freed Verse

RELATIVITY
surrounded

 by contrast
with the extraordinary
marking
the moment
 visually
interesting
with jagged
with lines
of  graffiti
  wrinkles
in
its depths
 a fire
 blazes

a strange
ritual
of established
 in the mirror
are wonderously
narrowed
yet
 barely resolved
 into
  the shadow
of
 existential
intensity
 touching
  compassion
 tender
   kind& vulnerable
  deeper
than
 the presence
of
 a living
consciousness

so tangible
this
emotional presence
full of mystey
when  seen
afresh
 opens
the senses
&  imagination
to reveal
an insight
of universal
 vulnerability
&  tragedy
