i notice sullenly the present, piecing thoughts, feelings, and sensations to dine on the brain unable to produce complete certainty. I dive into reality, or adequately linear belonging to some entity creation specifically designed or precisely described. nothing, no matter to which thought or action it Prays be full; the act of growing opens Processes unified limitation cant define: I form value Of prepositioned indication denying sameness in personality or time. the uniting principle, a soul, drills tiers existing in the mind longing to be the object of thought. i fear that i see independent observers of reality.

ReplyDeletei gatta say, this is so freakin cool. I love how you mixed analogous poetry and black out/cross out poetry to form this beautiful piece. I have been thinking a lot this semester about how beautiful poetry is often a puzzle of thought on the side of the poet and a riddle to be solved for the reader (though of course they have a guiding hand) and i find this poem really demonstrates a microcosm of that reality. The first part i found incredibly brilliant in your continuously defining aspects of previous definitions that led to, though clearly separate statements and not one united whole, a truly beautiful poem independently as well as holistic. I love how you carried that further and showed how these definitions that were clearly connected where actually the limbs to make one true body of a beautiful poem that is both philosophical and well said (especially under the limitations you were confined to). I appreciate youre adding the third part because i was personally having trouble making out the words in the second. The only really critique i have is that at some point in the second/third part the wording is so dense i lose track f the message. Specifically at "nothing, no matter to which thought or action it Prays be full; the act of growing opens Processes unified limitation cant define: I form value Of prepositioned indication denying sameness in personality or time."
ReplyDeleteoverall a truly brilliant piece, displaying the true thought and depth that goes into high quality poetry.
