Occasional Impressions

The Gemini Poets

Pity I have been tuned to a jarring key...

Pity I have been tuned to a jarring key,
That my strings pick up the sad frequencies in tunes,
And play back a dirge in stead of music.

Pity I am water
so that sunlight is refracted
Distorted
Not Itself in me
The Sun gets wet in me
And that is not Sunlight.

Phantasy
How can I lie? How can I tell the truth?
Me & the fishes speak a different language down here.
