Not to be Reproduced, 1937/ Rene Magritte
THANK YOU, Tess at MAGPIE TALES...
TO PLAY
The part you played,
the glide towards dawn,
a wild card, face down,
every hair in place.
All the unknowns of you
take the shape of smoke.
What's in your memory
that you want to mask?
My pool of tears,
they dry to flakes.
Yet the pathway is still
a mesmeric zigzag.
Winning, losing,
every dream
takes a bite out of me.
Your image is all you risk.
I'll call you,
don't call me.
