Hi Mike,
Like Christina I found this very intriguing and enigmatic, and all the more
enjoyable for that. I'm still pondering a number of different possible
interpretations of it, but regardless of how I read it, I like the last
stanza a lot.
Regards,
Matt

Clairvoyance
It was like learning to read
all over again. The most ordinary
words, like `spam´ and `bank´
were pregnant with new meaning.
Clairvoyance must be something like this,
she thought, stepping into the house
and hearing sounds that had died
some hours before.
The chairs stated their position with force,
offering a seat in clarification,
the curtains held a rush of air
in their folds that murmured to her.
As a child she had dreamed
of a mirror that recorded on its surface
every image it had ever reflected
and the power that would give over things.
Mike
