The Writer's Other Life with Terry Persun

Every once in a while, I get an itch to paint abstracts. And I often write poems to go with them. I think, for some reason, that the abstract is trying to tell me something, and by focusing on it for a long time, I can come up with a poem. Sometimes when I have enough of them, I put them into a magazine-type thing.

Altered States

Shadows stretch over
the geometric self
like a dark swath
of cold cloth.
Memory is lost
in images that run by
too quickly to call
attention to any one
in particular. Yet animal
guides growl from behind
rocks, slither
from tree branches.
Lost inside the mind,
five senses become ten,
sound feels like light,
any noticed thing
can lead the way.
