Looking glass
The moon cremates darkness in a contrasting
urgency below the looking glass, the sun rising
sallow with sunken luminescence and a frenzied
flickering gaze; flowers cower and bow their heads
praying for the danger to dissipate.
Rabbit hearts and the voices of lions meld together
with the wind as it whistles through rustling trees.
Mutterings deepen baritone then rise to a tenor as
tides of conversation flood heavily over my spirit
(I could stay here forever) and then roll out again.
A lion dances; his rabbit heart fluttering unstable
insisting that I accept his bottle of sobriety,
forcing the green-glass neck into my hand.
I do, and with a gulp I am dragged drunkenly
into reality, the looking glass at my feet.
This time, I'll let it collect dust.

Re: Looking glass
This (random) poem was based on the idea of the
looking glass from Lewis Carroll's book
*Heads up to Lewis Carroll*
*Looking glass: Being or involving the opposite of
what is normal or expected: "looking-glass logic".

A fave book from early on... and you honor it with your dance of delight.
Love "rabbit hearts" and "cremated moon" visuals.

re: Re: Looking glass
Thank you, it's not entirely based on the book,
more of the concept of 'looking glass' I just
received inspiration from the title. :)

nice work
I do, and with a gulp I am dragged drunkenly
into reality, the looking glass at my feet.
This time, I'll let it collect dust.(GREAT)
