Candle ~ Friday, 8 March 2019

You may find it is neither here nor there, 
only you know what you seek to find out there, 
understand, if you move, geography 

may help you accept the fact it is gone 
and never to return, to acknowledge 
yesterday as having nothing to do 

for certain with today or tomorrow 
in the sense that categories exist 
nowhere else besides within our small minds, 
decide if this outlook is or is not 

indeed, decidedly, of use, if not 
then move on, what you are looking for is 

in fact elsewhere, or perhaps, you may find 
something similar but simply a bit 

noticeably different, strange, unwelcome, 
even if you accept it as it is, 
it is still not the same thing you desire, 
the thing you want is never here, nor there, 
heaven knows how that is possible, but 
even here on earth, we have mysteries 
really no one can solve, and no one cares, 

however, those that pretend to know how 
engineering beyond the visible 
reveals a flaw in the metaphysics, 
everywhere they go, they are mistreated, 

no, they are treated to their own deceit, 
only a mirror reflects the image 
reasonably the same as in a lake, 

though, the current from the river nearby 
has properties to distort images, 
even if you do not seek out her face, 
resemblances abound in each visage, 
each face offers a certain light to douse.
