Curse and Swear

 

Solitude is 

about attitude

about living 

with the ghost 

of your former self

all her cares

all joys

all. 

But all is not lost–

in that vast inner sky

brightly, observing 

from somewhere

on high,

looking down 

upon a sea

glistened-eternity.

All I see is me.

Narcissus is watching 

and she is me

and I am thee.

----

They try to shame a woman

for liking what she sees

when she sees 

what she sees 

when she watches 

the stars go by 

on celestial breeze

–down on her knees

keeping time 

with the trees.

---

Don't go there, please.

----

Zeus casts a mighty glare–

Ashes flying through the air.

Jewish hands embrace them there

and children 

of the Holocaust 

begin 

to 

curse 

and 

swear, 

standing there

in eternal flare.
