Symbolically Speaking
Cat's eyes glow in concrete
their wings are orange and green
best seen in low light conditions.
Organ pipes are often integral
with large holy edifices,
yet they foot-pedal like any unicycle;
some can be surgically removed.
Man must drink to live,
but by law
women get the first glass of wine.
People who mix together
become odd,
a world of odd things
spins on the tip of a needle,
a fine point
that is said to thread a seamless sameness;
these symbolic needle-workings
are also too diaphanous to be seen
by the naked skin.
