The Shadows of Water Through Glass
"The Shadows of Water through Glass"
Schools in,
looking for meaning
in the Shadows of Water through Glass
Observing
the scaled Gold Gifilte fish
with a minced mind stuffed inside its own skin
Swimming in circles, a delicacy
devouring its own scéals
looking for denotation
From the faces of
schooled fish habitually weary, leering
in the Shadows of Water through Glass
The shadows are dissoluble
the minced mind swallows its own tales
rebirthing like a Russian Doll
disconnected, in gravitas
it continues to swim
an appetiser for the bigger things
(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)

"The Process revealed, which road is chosen?
Meaning is broken, the question never comes
The heartless believe, passion is misused
All the feelings abused, the answer never comes"
scéal/Irish
