Middle Visibility

Shadows break

the reflection disappears

The alternate image
isn’t visible to the conscience.

How can conclusions
be made
when there is no standard?

What if roses
were never red
and red
is really black

and death is life
and life is death
and birds walkand we fly?

What if a plane
never reached its destination
and our eyes
never
ever opened?

And a door
never closed
and a window
never shattered

and we could
never reload
and never
recharge
and never
never redo.

Glasses start
full
but they always
end empty

A race
has a finish line
and a start
has an end

But fires,
if you feed them,
won’t ever go out.
