What's the style you used in "A Knight in Shining Armor"? Is it a sonnet? It's been so long since I took a lit class... (sad).

I really liked this. The imagery is brilliant, as is the word choice. Very well done :)

You certainly captured the plight of the blind. I like your description of it being "a labor of memory". It makes you think about the advantages us "seeing" people have that we easily take for granted. Was your inspiration for this poem stemming from someone you know personally?

Working Blind

April 5, 2008

Then I worked apart

from mops and moonlight

on a labor of memory,

out of reach,

like the traditions of fish

who live so far below the sea's

surface they carry lights.

While my finger followed

tasks of mundane time,

inner hands molded

sacred blood and bone;

a curve of skull,

a thumb, an elbow.

Then the deep door opened

and all that hidden work

came crying into the light.

I looked into eyes from inside

and when they looked back,

all outsides melted away.
