sidereal by Laura Doomthis circle has two sides
the inside
the outside
at the centre
lies a cynosure
its status sustained
by a synthetic cycle
the cynosure radiates energy
which passes through the void
to be absorbed
by the mirror
delineating the circle
its energy generates light
which is reflected
back to the centre
supplying the cynosure
with absolute influence
in theory
the circle is self-sufficient
the cynosure controls the flow
creating substance
in its own mirror-image
in practice
the outside
by virtue of its presence
perpetuates the circle
validates its existence
gifts it a purpose
inevitably
the side estranged
loses definition
disseminates
acquires a new dimension
develops depth
the reflective surface
is enticed outwards
the mirror cracks
disintegrates
the slivered remains
scattering
beyond the limits of symmetry
merging
with a nebula of diversity
the cynosure reflects...
does it transgress the void
confront insecurity
to circulate freely
as a particle of light?
or feed upon its own energy
devour itself
and vanish into the myths of relativity? 08/24/2004 Posted on 08/24/2004 Copyright © 2025 Laura Doom
