JANUS
coin, c.225-212; (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Wien)
I am Janus
I have two faces
one in the past
and one in new places
I am in between, but looking at you!
I am change
transition
transformational glue!
I am in between.
Can you see me there?
I wonder if really;
who, what, why, and where?
If you think you’ve coined me
you’re doing it wrong
flip that coin again
because I’ve moved on.
I am not a thing, I’m an action
I go
I see where you really had thought I was though
I’ve got eyes behind me.
Hello to you there!
You have caught a glimpse.
Well that isn’t fair.
If you go someplace new I am there with you.
I invite you to walk, run, jump, or skip through.
If you look at me, we will move forward
see where you’ve been and keep moving toward.
If I look at you, and you feel stuck
I understand you are in a rut.
You’re struggling there.
You want to stand still.
You are conflicted and caught in the mill.
But I say relax I will walk with thee.
We’ll move through together.
Your struggle
and me.
