shhhhhh, I am listening to your heartbeat...

************************************
No one wants to be the muse;
In the end, everyone wants to be Orpheus.

Valiantly reconstructed
(out of terror and pain)
and then overwhelmingly beautiful;

Restoring, ultimately,
not Eurydice, the lamented one,
but the ardent
spririt of Orpheus, made present

Not as a human being, rather
as pure soul rendered
detached, immortal,
through deflected narcissism

I made a harp of disaster
to perpetuate the beauty of love
yet my anguish such as it is
remains the struggle for form

and in my dreams ,
less the wish to be remembered
than the wish to survive
which is, I believe, the deepest human wish
