folded reflection by Matthew SharpThe eyelid rolls,
From the forehead to the back of our souls,
A folded vision,
I wish/will for hands.
Unfolding the question mark paper,
Whatever i want to write.
prtnd eye cnt spel?
I burn through façade, after façade,
Of complacent reflectiveness,
Scorching magnifying lens.
Scorch the rotation,
Next cycle,
Growing vegetation.
An abundance of redundant,
Mundane,
Purposelessness.
