While....................................walking
on the street............................today
i saw my features.............imprinted
on an elder................woman`s face
like simple......................copy-paste
of nose, ......................cheek-bones,
eyebrows, ........................my mouth
....................................heart-shaped
on a barely.............crumpled sheet,
walking past...................each other
long seconds of...glance exchange
Encounter.......like.............a deja vu.
Was..... I.... a ghost to her........then;
coming from her past life, .......too? ....

Wow! This is a fantastic poem and so well done. Beautiful and touching. Love the way you have set it out so the dots become the intervals between footsteps and thoughts and suggest the dislocation encountered in the encounter. You handled it so well and this is one of your most accomplished poems. I award you the highest accolade I can...I am jealous and wish that I had wrote it. Powerful poem...powerful! One of the most wonderful ones you have done. A bravo poem. I bow to your power and realise I am not worthy. love Donall Donall
That imagine came from the past because not the mirror but an interior voice told it. That voice that took our dear Onelia to the way of the experimental style. And now where is it taking her?
As imaginitive as always, One. Perhaps you have been cloned and somewhere there is someone writing equally striking poems. I doubt it. there is only one One. Fx
There is a sense of déjà vu in my adding comments to this poem again. But then, as poets, we live our lives - so to speak - in a form of reverse. The imagery here is unavoidably incisive. Rgds, Ivan
Good idea on the form and the visual effect.....much more to do in that formula...explore it in the future
