I had to look up lemniscate, Suzanne—my first time for that word. I’m not sure I get all of what you intend in the stanza it occurs in, but I find it tantalizing and appealing speaking, to me, of love at the center of it all. -Glen
This poem was written looking at a painting by an artist friend. The idea of the lemniscate and the golden mean is that time curves and it is cyclic. The painting is actually of a man facing himself in the form of a jaguar. It is actually a painting about different aspects of our own psyche. This poem is what I took away from the painting. The reader can take something different away from the poem.
