Where did you go?




Where did you go in those realms of mind,
those distant places where we, who loved
and knew you, and held you, cannot follow?
Where did you go that needed to be so far
from all you were and all we knew and all
that you had always been; familiar, sure? 
There is no answer, only the epic silence,
for there is no understanding when psyche
is called, pulled, dragged from the place of
the known, into the fields of Pluto, where
that which must die is put to the sword of
necessity and that which must live, is seeded
in drops of dark blood; brought to being
in damp, brooding clods of earth, where
cracks reveal the dark lights of Hades, in
waiting, for the certain earth to be torn
asunder, that you could and would be
dragged down, led through corridors of
possibility, stripped, separated, cut apart,
in that disconnecting way of Soul; hung
in pieces on the hooks of probability and
destiny, waiting for the time when demons
could become angels and you would be
slowly, carefully and surely - re-membered.

  2. A wonderful rendering of a very surreal situation. Writing an unknown commodity like this leaves your muse free to ride rough shod, but you pulled it off quite well>

  3. I really like the strong images you presented in this, especially:
    "where
    that which must die is put to the sword of
    necessity and that which must live, is seeded
    in drops of dark blood; brought to being
    in damp, brooding clods of earth"

  4. So well done and the clever 're-membered' - just brilliant.
