Abstract Though Complex

by Anna Ruiz

I am a walking living breathing contradiction of
myself,
mired in the complexities of this ongoing saga
I have extended and apprehended possibility into
distinct and precious probabilities,
quietly absurd
dedicated to the keys of my life,
at times black and white,
at times in the melodies of a hurdy-gurdy
Monkey’s paw,
I am unfurling,
a cold winged snowbird flies
a new Dawn erupts unchains sun fires
my sky resembles wings
saved from a Jonah whale,
preposterous but magnificent,
altered in a Reality I hence call forth
equidistant parallel abstractions,
unto myself,
slipping into dusk... into dreaming
into dreaming... into dreaming...
