Awasa, Ethiopia by Beatriz Romero (Free verse) by Sunny
I would advise the reader to look up this photograph for this poem @:
http://www.picassomio.com/art/3263/en/
Excerpted from the Detailed Description:
ââ¦photographs were taken over timeâ¦across Africa and Asiaâ¦Each
image works at the same time in its individual right as a unique story.
Its interpretation is open to the spectator who becomes co-author, and
who broadens and or completes the voyage with their view.â
She is color-blind dreaming, and her focus
is blurred - everything in her peripheral is dangling
by cornered twig eye lacerations,
oblique in her blind spots,
and the rough tree climb she braced for, felt like water
soaked through the bark heavily
when she haled her way up and up the trunk.
She first looked to the sky. The Oz ceiling
appeared to be quite encompassed
with frustrations where the blanketed overcast
lie flat on its back on the ebony horizon.
Other parts of the sky were showing
their sheet of mist, with the sun gaping
through itâs teeth, settled and diluted by the fog.
She is going to walk on this plain of sorts,
whether it be water or sand or a morrow,
all the way straight into itâs very eternity:
a procession that might go until the clock
runs dry if she just keeps onâ¦.
Note: This is a huge metaphorâ¦or it can simply be read as my personal
interpretation of this scene.
