Hello hollow wooden shell
From the pedestal, the statue fell
The attachment-- caused a spell
Hallowed be thy name
Splintered on a winters day
Carousel-horse-madness on display
Will the fall cause you to pray?
Hello. What’s your name?
Tripping out on grains of sand
The idle idol no longer stands
Head held high--no more commands
The sun-rose kiss of a maiden’s hand ~ Arachne ~ July 3, 2014 p.m.

Vision Without Eyes~
Letting go of myself and my surroundings, I pass into... ah, yes! I
pass into the state in which all I see is black until my mind wonders
off into another mode and objects seemingly fly by as though I am in a
time machine heading off to . . . I shall focus on the object that
catches my attention the most . . . As I write with my eyes closed (a
benefit of touch typing), I see an
illuminated door which seems get closer as I or it moves. It looks like
a door whose frame is cracked enough to allow for the passage of
light... a spotlight might be on the other side allowing for a radiant
glow, but then again, is that what I would expect? I do not think so.
What would I expect? Actually, I do not expect anything. I focus my
sights on the door and notice that it has no hinges nor a knob. How
then is entrance had? Perhaps it is not . . . Now, macabre images fly
by as I leave the door whose light is now behind me. Why are things
left stapled?
The Cheshire Cat is a fictional character who came from the mind of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (a/k/a Lewis Carroll) and made it to the big screen via Disney. One of the first macabre images was of the cat whose extinguished color left it black and gray as its toothy smile was sealed shut with staples. Although it was cartoonish, it also had the quality of a stuffed toy giving it a three dimensional character. Ergo, the staples I speak of are not the kind you attach paper with. I refer to the type of staples you would require to attach cables to a wall...large and thick and in need of a gun. I guess you could say that the image looked Photoshopped as far as it resembled the Disney image, but was made into b/w allowing only the redness of the blood to show through. Did the image experience exsanguination? Perhaps. It would explain the object’s loss of color. It is time for a reality check . . . Hey, wasn’t that my reality even if only for a moment? Can I say I did not see what I did? How does one see when one’s eyes are not open? So much for sense. ~ Arachne ~ July 2, 2014 in the p.m.
