Cogito in Contrast







An old pair seeking commonality
Walk the paths of dual reality
Carrying eyepieces that magnify
Foreshadowing calls and birdsongs that cry
Accusations and salutations – wry.
Pleasure and misfortune are duality
For in the middle exists the contrast
Black or white; black and white they seem aghast
Common birds that pray and too, birds of prey
The vernal equinox is this first day.


Walking yonder a young reticent girl
Wearing pretty skirt, coat and hat of reds
Her eyes lower; her head turns like a swirl
And away from any connection to her dreads.
Her steps are cautious, her demeanor sad.
She carries a package perhaps, a diary
Covered in yellow ribbon shreds - it swings
Back and forth flashing hints of her carry.
Now it is clear. A small bird’s flutterings;
Pain’s reality or merely, fallacious mutterings.


La sangre como el universo es infinito
The gentle eye sees; the acute mind contrast of cogito.
