a starkness supplanted
by spontaneous concessions:
twists that fathom themselves
sideways into obscure passages
who did not exist
a mome before.
all things with a sentience—
a brevity, said gravity
of a vessel shaped-stunted,
shattered,
stolne.
all in the cosmic shade,
the lamplight of aeons:
illuminates striations
emerging with the eye.

The knot eye (not I?). The eye that is not? The eye that is tricked by optical illusions? Or the eye that is tangled with the hidden furrows that cannot be seen but from the outsider’s perspective?
We trust our eyesight so much. We want to think that if we see it, it exists (seeing is believing), and yet so much exists that we can’t see with our eyes and so much we see (or so we think) does not exist (at least not the way we think).
And yet, it is in those clear and distorted visions that we envision worlds with no ends, the “twists that fathom themselves”.
Greetings, dear @d-pend!
"Knot eye" contains an interesting poetic proposal illustrated with photographic images alluding to what is being proposed.
I feel that the knots are the barriers, the obstacles that life imposes on the future, on dreams. Something dark has been planted before the vision of what was planned:
On the other hand, more sensitivity has been gained, more capacity for compenetration with the whole environment at the very moment when an energetic exchange between "everything" and "one" occurs, a kind of empathy that sharpens the senses and makes us more vulnerable to our perceptions. Something that the voice internalises as retrocession, because it returns it to processes that it thought had been overcome and, nevertheless, they return as knots seeking to be untied.
And it culminates with a kind of acceptance of what has been happening inside, dumped on the outside, when the sentence is passed:
I am fascinated by the image of the wire fence with the illusion of falling into a dive like a roller coaster. Very good and coupled effect, that recreates the raised in the poem. Well done!
Thank you for being here for me, so I can be here for you.
Enjoy your day and stay creative!
Botty loves you. <3

Life is indeed incredible yet we exist at least for the mome.
This line in the middle of the first stanza caught my attention:
This is the line that best fits the picture or vice versa.
