Mirrored Vision
by Monique Avakian
the drunken thud of a hefty bumble bee
knocks once
lightly
against the threshold glass
limbs swollen with gold, s/he sinks and sets off
simultaneously
how I envy that evolved creature
in my case, the heat is trapped outside
and I have removed myself from my own sweat
I don’t dare embrace the swollen starfire
for when I dream of Spirit’s voice
I become lost and filled with a brutal longing
so, I stay inside
trying to freeze dry away a desire I perceive as
dangerous
somewhere else, though,
a solar disk spins forth
and the ancient mirrored vision of the message
drives
into the THUD of the kick drum
snakes
through the twining melody improv sung by reeds
rides
forth through the crack and pop of black vinyl via
the
old K cymbal sizzling:
. . . say
yes . . .
