Of all your dreams now toppled like
ancient Babylon into the sand ,
there is one that you embrace
with a certain ambiguity ;
a necklace of capillaries circled
by the intimate knife that sheds
your life’s delusions in a
welter of sacrificial blood ;
the Purple raiment unresponsive
to your gasping Salve Mia
the unerring blade elicits
the evocation of a name
heretofore denied by your own
discarded testimony ;
In vain your acquired hypocrisy
seeks a reprieve before
the primal scream
brings you face to face
with your own denouement .
This poem appears to be a wonderful narrative about a historic saga. It calls for a little description for the layman.
This particular is related to and part of a much broader thematic work that includes ,for instance,” The Disappearance of Eduardo Gomez”. as well as a similarly styled work , “Penance”,which in many respects resembles , “One of The Disappeared” ,albeit from an alternate perspective.
Interesting metaphysical poem
It’s a poem to savour and re-read.
