All I See (Thursday Doors)

photo by Miriam Hurdle

I enter
a series of openings–
pushed inside by darkness,
reflected in a two-way mirror
that absorbs all light.
How can I exist in transparency?
Am I merely a trick of the eye?
The threshold knows both sides of me;
the wheel reverses me.

A quadrille for Punam at dVerse who provided the word darkness. Every week I’ve looked at the photo Miriam provided for the Thursday Doors Writing Challenge, which, if you examine closely the last darkened doorway, contains a wheel. It looks to me like a place of both mystery and transformation. Punam’s word gave me, finally, an idea of what to write about it.

Once again, I’ve enjoyed this month of writing to the doors provided by the Thursday Doors participants. You can see the complete list of Challenge posts here, and visit the new weekly doors every week at Thursday Doors, hosted by Dan Antion, here. Thanks Dan!
