Weighed In Flesh
by Nancy Pawley
copyright 08-08-2002


Age Rating: 7 to 127

  Weighed In Flesh
Picture Credits:

Windlicking silver-dancing rainbursts
Glistening fickle naked raindrops
A quick repayment in reflected simple miracles
Trembling curtain clusters, overloaded granite clouds
Sunshine dripping heavily, liquified and gray

Beats hard against the glassy transformed windowpane
Lip-moistened gravity rolling downwards
Mercurial rivlets, condensation tracks, damp collections on the peeling paint

Artic winds send gusting strikes, shakes late autumn's maple branches,
gathers clotted clumps of puddling leaves
Taxi cab yellow and bright pumpkin orange
Fire engine red with grass green splotches
Flamethrower processional, luminous coloration drenched with ease
Gutter stream surface floaters, swift-moving drifters
Fanciful travelers in a circus tent, singles and doubles on a flying trapeze

They whittle away the midnight shadows of my lava-hardened soul
my former self, a bleary weeping willow
And I'm strewn amidst the air-influence, upwards rising
A transformed bloodstone talisman, protected wanderer
Aztec polished splendor guards the sacred temple images
Reflecting pulsing gateway possibilities,
My obsidian mirrored heart is finally weighed in flesh

Oh my. I'm speechless! This is beautiful. Absolutly beautiful!

Obsidian is a jet-black glass formed from molten lava, cold and hard, while the heart of flesh is warm and caring.

Thsi poem really rushes along. I must admit that I don't know just what you mean when you say, "My obsidian mirrored heart is finally weighed in flesh." But I do know that I find the sentence compelling. Obsidian heart, turned flesh. Shylock, and debt paying. Packs a punch, this one does.

you never cease to amaze...a stellar piece of writing, once again!
08-08-2002 William Robbins    

This is a wonderfully fluid piece. Reflection in the midst of such eye surgeries of the life around oneself is so memorable. As usual, a truly great poem.
