Lines Drawn with You Poem by Cynthia Hogue

in the Center Art Gallery, Lewisburg, PA (USA)



Where You are
now you're not
Noting how some
things matter
more than others
think they do

A complete ellipsis may not be drawn.
Three or more fragments are drawn
in the position of the ellipsis.
What is an ellipsis
if not made of pieces apart

. . .
. o .
from its parts
. . .

You're written
up On all counts,Meaning
your meaning counts for
little since you'renowhere
near the hero
they make you
out to be in
these parts . . . :a line (lines of
writing (SHApes)
soNgs sung when (elliptically)
in humor, so fully
human, a veritable Tabula
recta: cipher to (figure)
also null to nought
