TEN POUNDS
How can we see god
when we cannot even
see ourselves
maybe with a mirror
a view from
reflection
too often without
one
or maybe a selfies’
distortion
after all the camera
does add ten pounds
maybe that isn’t a
real image
since it’s so
malleable
than any truth
very subject to and
of
our own abuse
with an added ten
pounds
un-mirrored
distortions
the image
reflections
more malleable than
real
we cannot even see
ourselves
unless maybe in a
pond
with those added ten
pounds
or those pools that
we can stand over
from a commanding
view
a view from
refection
only as large as we
are
our ripples of light
unlike a camera view
it’s self powered
with a physical
depth
a watery reflection
that hides
where we are not
that reflection
is were we are
a truth un-malleable
shining a light on a
camera
hides the refections
needing no
distortions
un-mirrored by it’s
own pool
out of it’s depth
without distortion
as an image
cannot even see
ourselves
without the extra
ten pounds
