invisible
gowerboy 7/17/2008 9:53 am
she had worked so hard
for so long
at being
invisible

that when she finally wanted to be seen

she had to fill herself with darkness
in order to reflect the light

Is this some variation on the theme of the previous post?

Works fantastically, either way. Unless you're describing one of those goth chicks.

The dark around me it instills
a winter like numbing chill

It delves into my deepest bones
into places it has known

A ripple rising through my spine
fear and anger intertwine

I raise my hand to kill the beast
turn on the light to end it's feast

If it weren't for smart alec remarks, I'd have no remarks at all.

As I was writing it, I knew someone would ask this and I was pretty
certain it was going to be you, too. Happily, I was right.

If you are invisible, light passes through you. In order to be seen
you must reflect light to some degree. If you reflect all light then
you become a mirror. Most objects reflect some wavelengths of light and
absorb others. This is how they are seen. Thus, a certain degree of
opacity, or darkness, is necessary in order to be visible. Even black
bodies emit certain wavelengths at certain temperatures.

Or do you want the poetic explanation?

Thnaks, Tone. I took it on a train by the coast at night. So the dim,
greenish image is the inside of the train carriage, while the lights are
from the boatyards, reflected on the water of the bay.

Wellll,I just associated your poem with the microclimate of Blogland. I can't stand all those endless,egocentric,little wars(which usually lead to nowhere),that lack of tolerance&tact among adults.
Bo Bennett said something really wonderful."Diplomacy is more than saying or doing the right things at the right time,it's avoiding saying or doing the wrong things at any time."(But you have another option,too: leaving them unsaid or undone at all.)Anyway,your light or dark side couldn't be hidden imao.

I was writing bits and pieces on the theme of emptiness. I'd read something that triggered some memory, and so I wrote down some ideas. This came from that.

"secrets" was written at the same time.

Trying to fill the void is what motivates many people.

I originally wrote this in the first person. Then changed it. So you can
draw whatever conclusions you like from that. Other pieces were written
about women, or combinations of women, directly. I think everyone wishes
they could choose as and when to be invisible.

I'm glad you keep coming back, flame.

You're right. I certainly wouldn't recognise you in the street, unless you walked along with your hands in front of your face. There's an interesting idea for a story right there.

The poetic explanation is always your own.
