RE: Crimsonimplication

in #poetry6 years ago

Saludos, @d-pend

Awesome pictures. Great effects. The upsidedownness can be very disturbing. The last image magnifies some the early effects. A certain claustrophobic (beleaguered?) impression despite the openness of the scenery. The mirror-like effect, the continuum of dimensions or worlds can be both appealing and scary.

Not sure how to read this poem. On the one hand there seems to be an exploration of family (kin), but also at the macro level an exploration of earth as a proto family out of which all us descend, all of us share the crimson that flows through it and that makes us one with it.

Our relationship with earth, like all family relations can be tense and problematic.

From the early eon what can we know for certain? What do we know of our ancestors, the origin of our kin? How can we penetrate that history and better understand who we are and why we are the way we are?

Successive generations of rocks and mountains and animals and trees leave traces, ramifications; some of great import, others inconsequential.
Just like family.

The contemplation of rocks issues self-examination. Their majesty can be humbling. Even in their fractures there is evidence of fortitude. Their imposing authority interpellates us. We are constantly sieged by

the heft of life's behest.

And, like with family, that’s the implication of bloodlines. That’s the weight of their commands.

Very good analysis, appreciated @hlezama. I find your final comments very successful:

Well done!

Thanks, @zeleiracordero. I'll drop by yours tomorrow (all day working on some translations).
