Layers by Sam Flot




Layers
By Sam Flot


The original layer of façade beams
Happily split like branches or needles
Flat across the very front

The next layer is opposite a door
Constructed inside a gateway
Limiting the size of the entrance
Capable of opening and closing
At the simple turn of a knob

The next layer exhibits similarities of
A Salvadoran serape or a Swedish Film
In the sense of ironic transference
Thick with symbolism
Yet to be discovered or covered or
Any of the variables available
Down to the gene of the genre’s DNA

The next layer digresses
At the backwards rate of state of the art
Technological advances
Taking a step back
Devolving until the industrial age is obsolete

The next layer is the most confusing
Due to the lack of consistency of distance and length
Widening to unfamiliar quote marks and
Surreptitious question marks and
Sometimes it’s hard to trust the will and intention
Of grammar gone bad

The final layer
Is a simple calico quilt
Patterned like a thousand petal lotus
Opening always in the act
