An Enigma : Comment

written by Poet : EC


Some days ago I published a formerly published poem here, i.e. "The Vermin Scheme". Before I posted it here I've had many questions about it and all of them go on the MEANING of it. However, I've never been able to give one fulfilling answer to that question.
This poem sort of wrote itself. I had no intentions of making it into a statement or something like that and should I have tried to use it in that way I'm sure it would take control and do what it has done already: Use me instead of me using it for a tool or a mouthpiece. I've the impression that it has meant something different to different people as some focus on the vermin, others on the mirrors, etc., etc.. I simply re-read it and think of its birth many months ago. As I see it it does make sense, but not in an ordinary manner because it doesn't speak to the brain, but to the senses and we don't always know what they try to tell us. Sadly enough as they hold their own wisdom ....
