the white of the screen

the white of the screen
the images flowing
captured on their eyes’ lenses
like a mirror reflecting;
The words of the test
the screen at an angle.

seen at an angle
the flickering images
a jaw clenched/released
in time with the reading;
No knowing how well
they will do.

with a mind like an elephant
hearing the stories of many students,
and knowing my own,
when we cannot let go of our memories,
things of the past

like milking silk
the enigma of some of the students,
trying to tease out what is going on with them
on a particular day.

hidden within the glass
in response to question
about whether the horse in the liquid glass
was first in the mind of the artist or within the glass itself
