Raoul Hausmann, Untitled, 1931,
Eyes fish, rods and cones, in silver
round within round in a square box.
Grey scaled snap shot rumination
who masticates cached mash-ups
through long winter nights. Star-
struck with revelatory indictables,
shadow blanket holds her, warm,
until morning’s cold glare of dawn.
Carrie is the host of The Sunday Muse.

I hope you get some sleep soon. Counting sheep may get your mind off these things. Or think of my scary close up while driving:

Jim, I sleep like a (well-fed, contented) baby. The poem is ekphrastic, where I was inspired by the subject in the image. I’m glad mama cow stayed safe from the metal motorized killers.

I figured it was “your poet,”not you writing this. Mine does things like that too. I decided to exercise my new, or revived, interest in “rumination.” BTW, I also exercised poet’s privilege when I said 150 years ago, I just guessed. Actually Macy’s was founded in 1885, to be 165 years old this year. Thank you for keeping me ‘honest’.

Thank you. In a way it felt like looking out of one of those fish eyes on a door and seeing myself. Difficult to explain.
