FRAMING THY FEARFUL SYMMETRY
FRAMING THY FEARFUL SYMMETRY
it's the little things
remain
shadows on your skin
memory preserves it
makes it more precious
despite its insignificance
the ephemeral
made permanent
you all sunlight and shadow
marking you a tiger
a stripey 5 year old. . ."Rrrrr!"
you roar burning bright
I throw my little tiger
up in the air
catch her years later
the sunlight now
in teacher mode
displays
an equilateral triangle
made of
pure light
hear her voice
of then
still telling me now
"Look...an equatorial triangle!"
and so for ever
it is
the angle
I see her from
changes
the years come and go
and the equatorial triangle
still burns brightly
you my little girl tiger
twisting the sinews
of my heart
