behind the looking glass

and in the space –

behind the mirror –

your – unafraid –

encouraged my – inability.

as years of hiding in the dark

left me,

weak,

incapable…

 

how arduous,

this task.

reflecting;

not fondly on the journey.

rather,

as the surface of a most placid sea –

showing merely the reflection

of what

you expect to see…

silence, before the phrase [Proverbs 17:28]

and then sometimes, it’s the simplicity of the lyric –
unobtrusive cadence –
silence –
before the phrase…
 
i tend to look for that same – (in)equality in life.
so many times we over-quantify our justification.
presume preeminent jurisprudence when in fact,
we own less than assumed autonomy over our purpose.
how ostentatious –
contrived –
hypocritically pronounced!
 
surely, you do not imagine yourself – higher than –
greater – than –
(self-proclaimed -) elitist – do you?
 
temporal –
with such sinful disregard,
you flaunt your affected – morality…
flagrantly inept,
you deconstruct the foundation of believability –
simply by assuming yourself – the axis!
 
spoiler alert –
this world does not –
even remotely –
revolve –
around – you!
 
(you surmise my silence implies ignorance,
yet you speak, and remove all doubt…)
