Quirky Poesy - 5. Shimmering Reflections
In the story '18 Weeks,' the falling-apart protagonist, David, tormented by suppressed memories of sexual abuse and suppressed desire for Twoey, stands at his window before the breathtaking view of an ice storm. His girlfriend holds him while he wishes it were Twoey. He is on the verge of ending his denial and composes this little doggerel.
I decided to include it here because there is so little poetry in Skinnyland. Also, not everyone reads '18 Weeks.'
in the glittery glare of the ice coated tree
did my soul now despair
for the ken of my love, be it she be it he
was now mine to declare
