The Seer

I’m walking into a room made up images. These are all images of myself I assumed them from my figurative past, Now they're gathering dust on the shelf. I prowl the gallery of portraits Searching for the one I miss the most, But they’re all cut from the same cloth, Rings around the trunk of my soul.   Maybe they remind me when the bark was a little smoother, when the breeze blew a little harder, the more sensitive times.   But I can't help but feel it within me; something cuts all the way through.   The stillness of the seer to his subject of sight, cast out along a pier into omnipresent light.   These are where the memories were made, in simple, silent observation.   Birdsong hemorrhages like intestines into silence in moments better forgotten.   by Peter Page
