First Poem Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

first poem
first ego
first alter ego
first id

no echo of self-esteem
no exaggeration
no inflated opinions
no empowerment

a second side to possibilities
an alternative personality
an uncommon insight
a doppelganger mirror imaging art

no identification
no qualifications
no unconscious psyche
no primitive impulses

no superego
no conscience to the ego
developing moral
standards infantile,
rules of contact through
parents physically enforced,

I am premolar pre-puberty child
perceiving environment
through new eyes smaller
perspectives of dimensional scale

elevation growth half life
intellect imagination pure
perceptions encoding imprinting
fairy tale pictures still catalysis escapism

first introduction into
alternative reflective thought waves
first introduction into
exploring memory mix settings
first introduction into
writing own poetic landscapes
first introduction into
artistic possibilities inscribed
