| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 02/13/05 at 12:56 AM An intriguing paradox. Perhaps suggesting there is a fine line between sanity and insanity! |
| Posted by Junemarie Roldan on 07/17/06 at 01:35 AM Opposite sides of a coin or the mirror in this case. I've always believed that insanity is what we feel when we're stressed to the limit and just tired of being sane.
This is a keeper, and is going in my favs. |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 09/13/06 at 08:02 PM Sometimes madness perceived is a reflection of external and internal forces battling for control, seeking to destroy. Yet, as you have written here, the real key to reflection is in self-perception.

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 12/08/06 at 04:35 PM Fascinating integration-- and so it is. I feel strongly this image, and the poet-artist, most sensitive to the lack of ditinction, quite the way of poetry, that we reveal this to ourselves, and in so doing reveal ourselves to ourselves, as part of this integrated disintegration. This poem seems to come from a moment of really looking--when you saw what was there--in the mirror, the context as well as what is usually simply picked out and looked at. It is a hard thing to express, even given this "enlightenment moment" and I recognize it here--in your fine verse! |
