Tabula Rasa
by Laura DoomMinutiae of time dissolve
in pools of rippled memory
listless temporalities
submerged by your disfigured smile
waving their good riddance
when we turn to trivialities
illustration
I turn a leaf
remind myself
that even a regressive state
though staring at an empty plate
is simply food for thoughtless others
in the mood to pull some teeth
immaterial
A slice of toast
that burns in celebration
murmurs raised in arbitrary patterns
taking shape and shedding weight
consumed by corporality I swallow
what remains of yesterday 10/04/2003 Posted on 10/04/2003

or deep within submerged emotion
something simple feeds
no matter', this sounds like a realization. A SCENE seen from a deeper layer in the middle of living yesterdays.
