About the Poem
I wrote this poem to give expression to my ideas about the tricks our mind plays on us with regard to memories - about how sometimes thoughts, feelings and imagination cross into our memories - and how, as a result we create illusions.
Fallacy |
| by S. Selina Jamil |
| Tumbling over reflection's widening shoals a mock-rivulet of memory frets, trickling out like tiny drops of coconut oil dropping from careworn hands fingering unbraided hair, glistening for a moment like silver drops of splurging water titillated by the diurnal romance of a wet dark veil of hair, vaporizing as the translucent irony the afternoon sun beckons. |
