" TO KIERKEGAARD "
Paul Gauguin 1891 Street In Tahiti
POEM "To Kierkegaard"
The demon takes so many forms
shapeless, murky, indistinct
That troubled minds react and run
and therefore mold its grisly shape.......
Clothed in fear of solitude
the demon smirks and smotes
and colors all horizons past
as failure, loss, and endlessness....
The mind obsesses........then denies
looking for its trump
"Aha"he says,"the body hurts",
but then the pain is gone!....
[..............at least for now.]
I know I must identify and strip away the robes
of such a heartless,mindless tool
of those who wish to do me harm.......
Projection fails, all bastions gone
the mind climbs on the demon`s steed
to see where it will lead......
Looking down, it sees some words imprinted on the bridle.
"TO BE SHARED BY ALL WHO WISH TO SEE
MY NAME IS
