Which Are Still Reflective In Me by Philip F De Pinto
Trying to make some moot point
You punch a hole in the screen
Through which a fly flies through
And you - in the direction opposite to the fly
He entering - you exiting - you angel
Who were all the buzz
Before the fly flew in
Who were to vanish from the scene
To venture off to who knows where?
Perhaps become a face
Reflective upon some lake
And what a seraphic face to reflect upon such
And how fortunate of the lake
Weary of reflecting and entertaining
Such features as are privy to a sky
With that singular blinding eye
And what will I do to entertain a fly?
When I would have much preferred
Be in league with your own blinding features
To heap upon such things
Which are still reflective in me
