Inside Out (Poem)

Inside Out

Tears in folds
glance steel-ribbed harbors
of light. You
plumb how deep
the heart tracks sorrow, inverts
your view inside out.

It's perfect - perfect picture of the picture. And a poetry form to boot.

Every word matters, I love it in its entirety.

I agree with Glynn, you've somehow managed to encapsulate all the abstract picture shows with a wise choice of words Maureen.
