Interpretable Poetry
by
Frank Valentyn
The simplest reflection
as of self in mirrors
is already lie
a negation, inverted relation
of uninterpretables
Expect rather, foreign correspondence
strange emissaries, exotic custom
dark, glowing festivals
tones and timbres of an uncommon music
dance in rites and mysteries
that have unfamiliar comfort
of movement and energy
beyond accustomed rhyme and reason
celebrations alienly metred
appealing to some common bond
in self-discovery reflected
touching upon a core, dimly perceived
barely suspected
