The imaginary

Ellen Marsell

The imaginary is this wild cat 
who meows to be tamed
and submitted to a gentle will.
The imaginary is throwing out
the colors of fantasy 
on a canvas of beyond.
The imaginary is a flowering garden
and forbidden intimacy...
A curve designed from 
the invisibility of birth...
The imaginary is a toy 
for too serious children,
it breaks very quickly  
leaving Alice weeping 
when its time for school.
Ending its life in an obscure attic
between an autistic teddy 
and a doll that grew up too fast.
This imaginary world I carry within me
like the secret kingdom 
of a dream forest 
where I draw on the treasure 
of my creativity.
