Through The Mirror

by Gay Reiser Cannon

Through the Mirror
On the other side
Where this world's reversed
Ripples flow inwards
From the edge of the universe
 
There I would sail
From a quest in the wastelands
Beyond the frame
I would have defied the monsters
Floated inwards to center
 
The journey held wonders
Words soaked in music
A music of experience
Lyrics had meaning
And I would bring them

To the center of the there
Where I'd shrink to the start
No larger than an atom
No larger than a quark
To the idea before the spark.
