Vincent Van Gogh’s severed ear
listens to the cry to arm
Holy Wars and unholy ones;
the warlock Charlie Sheen
with his winning tiger’s blood,
waking up in an unknown bed,
not waking up at all;
children without parents
doing their own thing, disconnect;
Freud’s ID lit up like a cigar
put out on a prisoner’s arm;
blowing up people for God
in the certainty of belief,
beyond all reason, come passion,
burning, all Hell’s broken loose
in the world of wanting, lust.

Powerful words. Excellently done.
ReplyDeleteI cannot add to what's already been said except to maybe say that you have made a tremendous statement of tantamount importance in your choice of words for this prose. Standing O.
ReplyDeleteThat children's disconnect thing gets to me.
ReplyDeleteGood fun, glad to see you back.
ReplyDeleteI, by the way, am the living embodiment of the blurry line between genius and mental illness. Though I likely exude more of the latter than the former.
"Blowing up people for God in the certainty of belief"....very powerful.
ReplyDeletepowerful words.
