Profound; A deeper meaning
My Papa's Waltz
The waltz not only but also represents the dynamic of their relationship.
"The whiskey on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death:
Such waltzing was not easy."
"You beat time on my head
With a palm caked hard by dirt,
Then waltzed me off to bed
Still clinging to your shirt."
The Woman Hanging from the Thirteenth Floor Window
The woman is on the brink of suicide, but is humanized because she is an important part of people's lives.
"The woman hanging from the 13th floor window on the east side of Chicago is not alone. She is a woman of children, of the baby, Carlos, and of Margaret, and of Jimmy who is the oldest."
:
"She is the woman hanging from the 13th floor window on the Indian side of town. Her belly is soft from her children's birth, her worn levis swing down below her waist, and then her feet, and then her heart"
Ash
A house is more than a home. Many things are done and memories are created which is why homes mean a lot to people.
¨House afraid to be alone.
House like an engine that churns and stalls.
House with skin and hair for walls.
House the seasons singe and douse.
House that believes it is not a house.¨
¨House with hands. House of guilt. House
That other houses built. House of lies
And pride and bone.¨
Mirror
A mirror is sees what you want it to see and has no judgement.
¨I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.
Whatever I see I swallow immediately
Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike.
I am not cruel, only truthful ‚
The eye of a little god, four-cornered.
Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.¨
¨I am important to her. She comes and goes.
Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.
In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman
Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.¨
