rapture focused lightning
      like a needle
         to the spine
frozen mental tapestry
      revealing new
         design
the thawing image bubbles up
      till married to my skin
filling the cracks of weathered life
      that I resided in

freedom from the measured step
      the breathing down
         my neck
laughing at the Salesman
      as I write the
         final check
the meaning of the mirror mask
      will not escape my grin
the glass of glitter shattering
      the panes embedded in

feeling the power of sun on my face
knowing the minutes are slowing my pace
floating in story of evident grace
      I read between the lines
feeling the minutes of evident grace
knowing the story of sun on my face
floating: the power of slowing my pace
      I'm free of all disguise

I never aimed at reality; I aimed at truth. --Orson Welles
