Through This Eye

Missing image

~by Gregg Rowe~

100 Word Challenge

 



Hazel iris --

     forty-eight today, March Twelfth

Mirrored reflection --

      me looking at me

I see my future artistically like fine lines creating crow's feet

Seeing --

      these fine lines as art

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crow's feet

      living with HIV, Hep C, heart condition

      my real life fine lines

 


Art imitates life as

       art beauty transcends into everyday life:

 

 


I am fortunate to explore this through my sight.

Refelction of fine lines through light in art --

enabling to see my darkness of my hazel eyes--

as well as fine contours of my crow's feet




Much like the lightness

      and darkness in everday living

How bittersweet.

    Your poetry has a truthfulness that is breathtaking and yet heartbreaking. I'm deeply moved by the fact that you have lived with so much uncertainty and risk for so long but can still take joy, even if bittersweet, in the simple pleasures and reflections. This was a lifetime captured within 100 words, to me. Very well done.

    Evocative

    Beauty in its patterns, drawn by independent forces held firmly at a distance to guarantee delicacy of form, a kind of counter strength as if in the hand of an artist who respects his medium, using the application of time as flux. Master-craftsman at work.

    Proof that mighty bridges need not be built to find a worthy poem. . .
