Magda Anne Fraser      Compassions' words, a child's eyes, warmth there misrepresented, misperceived. A pause between illusions flutters like sparrow's breath, quick and unnoticed in the small. The gauze of mist blends easily into vast oceans and dusk's half light. Dreams form within the shape of clouds, seen through veils of rising lashes. Seabirds sift borders of an open sky, unaware of turned black soil below where creatures curl in narrow trails, without shoulders, unforgiving. © 2002 Anne Fraser
