The Other Palce
The ‘ratio’ and ‘perception’ of the wheel is conceived,
Brings round high walls where death kneels,
To spy upon even the lowest thing,
Dictate the time ‘when’ to break the ring,
Time is ‘even’ for the line is flat,
Cathode screen shows us that!
Bright light and a tunnel black,
But the ‘onlooker’ knows not this fact.
Expression seen inside the smile,
Gives a ‘look’ to a secret way and a shrouded face,
Fear at once dominates before the grace,
Gently then falling into some other realm,
The rudder twists and new forces work the helm,
Events avoided, there will be no crash,
Until the eye is open and then too late
To come upon the other place!
(2006)
Perhaps these somewhat surreal lines express what is hidden from us in our last hours, but then perhaps it is wrong to look, but we all must have wondered about this…
