Missed Connections in Las Vegas
Perceptual Mosaic
tesseral
eye of fly
holographic reality
tilted head
eye cocked at the human puzzle
polished facets
accidental revelation
games laid bare
eye cares not
eye plays… not
eye watches
eye sees in elegant
miniscule electric chemistry
(smoke signals
ash swirls
forest fires are impersonal
said Smokey Bear)
consciousness rejoices in song
come clean eye sings
left eyebrow arched in non-expectation
eye sees the jagged crevasse and
winks
~ Susie Hewitt, that crazy Las Vegas poet
Her Two Cents
A mosaic is an assemblage created by individual pieces relating to one another. The connection may be color, texture, shape, material, context, or some other quality that isn’t immediately apparent to the eye, but when discovered, leads to a greater understanding and appreciation of the whole. While we often think of mosaics in the realm of visual art, they can be created for any of our senses, and provide a thought-provoking challenge for our minds to unravel.
