Poem: "Balance and Tangle"
This poem came out of the May 7, 2013 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from siege. It has been sponsored by zianuray.
Balance and Tangle
Language is
a balance of opposites --
inlet and outlet,
entrance and exit.
It is door and portal,
gate and window,
transition twisted
around juxtaposition.
Language is
a tangle of contradictions --
it is not egret but ingress
which is the opposite of egress.
