Mind’s Eye (a poem)

“The Mind’s Eye,” watercolor
by Jennifer Wigg
By Paul Clark (aka motomynd)

When he fell in love with her,
she had her father’s mind,
and her mother’s glamour.

Her mother had the mind of a model,
a cynical wit cloaked by a cackling laugh,
and a body that made all forgivable.

Her father was driven by a blue-collar heart,
the creative clarity of a photographer,
a mind’s eye that in everyday life saw mostly art.

When he fell out of love with her,
she thought it was because she lost her mother’s body,
but it was because she lost the mind’s eye of her father.
