The world is your mirror, its stage such delight,
You're drunk on the elixir of endless limelight.
Ceaseless is the obsession for attention.
Baseless without foundation, a hollow pretension.
A dazzling array of endless phase shifts,
Keeps any analysis at bay in the mists.
Always in your face, so hard to dismiss.
Always in the media, a relentless hit-or-miss.
There's no let-up, no pause for reflection.
An endless light show, a blatant vivisection,
Of all sucked in by the Emperor resplendent,
Whose phosphorescent gall is transcendent.

gripping the shards of memories
ignoring the bloodied emotions
why do we torture ourselves
with that which we cannot change
these evocations
vivid
disturbing
invisible to others
but our élan spotlit
driven
instituting mostly patronising
eleemosynary projects
perfect recall
subject to
experiences dictated by
accident of birth
the authenticity of memoirs
tenaciously defended
but ravaged by
subliminal influences
a testimony to its perfidy

Northern sunshine spotlit arm
Shoulder covered, summer fabric
Vogue presented picture
Paper thin skin: soft, precious
Veins, arteries proudly displayed
Rivers that fill oceans
Hands enduringly closed
Phalanges bent awry
Nimble surgical instrument

Lush leather spotlit,
A poor girl’s palmprint on glass,
Kept a world away.

Remembrance of « Creation » 1963 (MM)
(Marcel Marceau 1963)
Face white-clown-painted
hands crossing invisibility
in a white-gloved glissade
a soft, silent shifting,
a step-slide
over non-existent windows, walls and doors
a glide into gesture
into signing
a seeking
into a stirring
a knowing
a genesis
the stage, his staging
the spotlight on
in a spotlit silence

As wearily, tearfully, one prays,
Caught in the spotlight
Of a softly streaming moon,
Who wafts her brilliance through
crossed boughs, blown
By a gentle breeze’s word
through pine-trees’ canopy,
To make the branches nod
and wave and sing in regal harmony
That doleful tune and echo the rhythm
Of troubled hearts, and with its psalm
Touch tenderly the freezing soul within:
Take in there God’s peace, His grace:
Realize that this light inspires, reminds
that prayers sent up are always heard
and no one is ever truly alone.
