Just Like Those Stains in The Sky

Neville

Just Like Those Stains in The Sky

 

I said look

   at that stain in the sky ..

Pray what

   does it remind you of ..

She said,

it looks like a bird dying

in some kind

   of post orgasmic flight ..

You mean like

the stains on our sheets,

   I asked ..

No, much more like some

fucking old,

   Rorschach poemed parasite ..

And then,

we both laughed and tuned

our attentions

to those cracks in the ceiling,

   yet again ..

    I knows Rorschach. He didn't live very long, sadly.

        I have spent thousands of hours with Rorschach cards but not nearly as many as with clouds or grain in wood. Neville this poem is great in its view of how we impose on ambiguous items our own interpretations. I have found this most true of poems as well as intended meaning becomes distorted or reinterpreted in unintended ways in others minds. A great write Neville

            I do not know, Neville. - repetitions in a complex wall paper design at a holiday boarding house always got me in - looked forward to it every year... may account somewhat for my almost fanatical adherence to rhymes
