Narcissus

Make you homesick for a home you never had
Burning out the good with all the bad." John Moreland

 

Narcissus 'Flower Record' (Large-Cupped Daffodil)

 

If you try to possess a person
she will disappear, just like that.
Refrain from stating an opinion
on the question posed by God..
The non-literal truths of poetry
depend on morning, noon and night;
After all there's only an 'a'
between theist and atheist.
Midway to Medway.
I am the man who kills the killer
who squats inside me. 

The persistence of memory endures.
in a facial distortion,
elongated and so alone..
Sureally down to earth,
An atomic disintegration,
A fragmented self,
A spike of nostalgic unrest
engendered by reading
the poetry of C.P. Cavafy:
the whole creation groaneth 
on a surrealistic pillow
this day and for ever more.
