Mirror of nothing

I am a mirrored muse
Each reflecting a different reality
to my source of truth
A fluctuating tide
An uncomfortable moon
falling from a sky of irregularity
A reed in the breeze
that sings songs
Sometimes a tune slipping so gently
across the timid edge
Others a scream
upwardly pushing through the thickness
of hollow
Internal mystery
My voice never stays the same
A reflection of another
Blending into a beige street parade
Never moving
Always fast
A writer for the past
A descendent of the future

No longer will your face be my grandfather clock
I don't listen to the ticking of nothing
beyond the I

Covering the thorns that opened
Sacrificed a closing pore
Giving up on yelling outloud to the water
to fill the skin
Never listens
Too busy making love with War
And tapping songs into rememberence of stone
Hoping that one day soon
a ship of cliche
will arrive at a port in which another lays
Taking up the motel room
in which heaven floats
When payday is far from tipping
Refilling an empty heart with gold...
The kind of gold sipped through a straw
The blood from butterfly's wings
Blown out
Making a circle space
Come bathe in this pool where no one is named.

I agree, Margherita - I believe I saw circles!
A good read!
