UNTITLED
BY JOSHUA FOLEY
A wrinkle under an eye.
The wake on a lake.
The architect is as complex as me.
Architectural complexity.
Multi-dimensional, unselfish
Philosophy.
Philosophical philology.
To pass time can one
truly surrender,
give away what is umbilical
as one’s shadow?
(SHADOWS OF SELF-REFLECT
MISTAKES)
Missteps to really learn
what I can and cannot do,
in the center of all my
essence, I hold value.
The symmetrical choice
of a decision in
society’s norm.
Every changing partial shape
I mediate my hands
to explain a man
like a crease under a knee.
Panoplies of answers
fantasies of Peter Pan;
my grandfather showed
me rain drops on roses.
Brilliant for the mind,
a continuity so constant
of inconsistency —
I will forever view as
timeless. | JF
A MILWAKEE MUSTANG, JOSHUA FOLEY WAS OREGON RAISED.
