kokopelleRecognition of beauty has many purposes. One of those is to see a model of who we could be. “Desire’s Aim” is a poem on this theme.
Desire’s Aim
They asked me if I had a type
predicate for desire’s aim
that filter through which life strains
beauty in its purest vein
I responded that mirrors lie
while sight assures who I should be
reflections through imagery
assuring more than I enfold
evidence fits the puzzle’s face
repetition by each day
once again conviction states
it’s not madness to believe
in the end I may love myself
through surrogates of loveliness
statements of the sincere views
who I’d be if I were true.
