electrical recognition by Mary Frances Spenceri dont know
you
do you know me
have our spools tangled
wires in passing
or is it
electrical
recognition
karmic circuits
sputter
sparks
tripping us
as we
adjust
the
lighting

Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 03/10/08 at 05:20 AM I especially like the use of "tripping us" here... the double meaning... of setting off-- sparking, as happens on such occasions... and also slipping up, stumbling... into the feeling recognition or not. |
Posted by Rhiannon Jones on 03/10/08 at 01:09 PM Yep! And I love the tangled spool image, and the whole electrical circuitry comparison. |
Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 03/10/08 at 03:31 PM I love the electrical theme here - most effective. As to connections, yes, I've been there. Great last stanza. |
