Analysis of Two Red Lines
judith Admas 1948 (Newmarket)
Two red lines.
Oh no,
the arrogance of it
I could be sent to the Gulag.
Or mini version of branding, of a sort.
Confined thus
I see my mind for what it is,
a blender without a top
and for what it does
wasting time
using up sacred winds,
turning against itself.
Up this close it is obvious
it can waste a cherished life.
