Mind Not

Posted on October 22, 2019 by anna mosca

Standard

mind not to make

assumptions about

the man you love

not to project on him

the beauty you hold

or wish to be there

  Well I think the nature of love is sharing yourself with another human being and seeing and getting to know the other human being. When we love the expectations we put on another human being or the reflection of ourself in others we are not really seeing the other person but enacting a painful trap.

This nice bit of alienated wisdom touches on what I was writing in my last poem. Perhaps I could reduce it to this paraphrase – “Be not such a damn mountain!”

Thanks ongoing for your consistently deft writing.

  😂 are you talking about your “precipice” poem? I went looking for it… if the imperative BE is referred to the first singular person (either you or I 🤣) the one liner works wonder as a 🥊 Thanks for your comment and appreciation.

    Yes. I just wondered to myself if there is a distinction drawn in my poem between me (precipice) and my wife (rolling hills). hmm.

Anna, you are so correct in your poetry. We often assume too much…
