The Mirror
A mass of brown hair
reflected in glistening glass,
eyes like coal in the snow
witness shadows of the past.
Sorrow flows, joy cascades
shades of memory in the mirror.
A city unbroken by life,
busy like an ant's nest,
crested by burnt umber sun-
the thrum of eternal moment.
Sidpa Bardo peels the onion -
fear shedding a snake’s skin,
cutting a slew of ID slivers,
into star-field honeydew,
only to sprout new branches,
to regrow skin anew.
What is Cascade Poetry?
A cascade poem is my own invention. This style of poetry consists of a group of standalone poems that link together to create a larger picture. Each poem should encompass a solid idea, group of images and theme... but when put together form a journey.
I will be publishing a poem each day, with the final day linking all the poems together, and also making a video poetry reading. As with my poetry please series (check out links below), this short film will be more than just me reading the poem in front of a camera. Instead I will attempt to find video footage to compliment the core images/themes of each poem, and set it to music.
I don't want to include any analysis with any of the poems, although I may include a brief discussion on the form and ideas in the final post. This form of poetry is meant to be like an unfolding tapestry, as each day passes more of the bigger picture is revealed.
Can you guess what this poem alludes too? There are some clues within the verses. Let me know in the comments 🙂
Thanks for reading.
