The color of a cat’s eye
The images vivid in this inner view
Swirling up amid the blue
Up
I sense the layers
Accruing over time
One over another
Each surrounding a tiny kernel of truth
The nacre of falseness
A false pearl
And so these appear as I work
Arising from my unconscious
One by one
Each now a lovely gift
The depths to plumb
Sorting false from true
Like bubbles bursting
Finally nuggets rest clear
Exactly where I am
