The details!!! Reading it gave the experience of watching a motion picture .. loved the way you described the heart. Very brave and artistic imagery as well!
You explain that all vision may rely on the interdependence of an internal and external source. An external image projected in the mind, an internal image projected on our surroundings, and what can be generated from the overlapping of these forms of vision, allows us not just to witness and be witnessed by the world, but reify our beliefs, our dreams, and other visionary forms of the divine and transcendent into an observable imaginary. What truly separates us from our environment or from each other, with those cellular membranes so small and infinite? If immanence is an inward-moving version of transcendence, how does this complicate our understanding of the lyric, and via the lyric, the world?
Hi Connor. Thanks for the lovely well thoughtful comment. Not a lot more I can add to that, apart from you've got it spot on. Hope you like my forthcoming poems which will be following on soon from my forthcoming third poetry book which I think will be out start of 2026.
