folded reflection

by Matthew Sharp

The 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 cn’t 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.

Nice use of language and imagery, man. You really know how to nail them in.

An intense view of how you approach your writing, and introspection. That "scorching magnifying glass of yours" sets fire to a lot! I love the quick "rolls" at the beginning getting to the "souls" of the matter, right off.
