13 Ik
White Cosmic Wind
A Phantom have I
Lived with near a Year –
An inner Voice
A disembodied Face
A separate Self –
Beloved yet apart –
A ghostly Lover
Occupies my Heart
His surface Charm
Hides Deeps unfathomable
Deadly and immortal both –
There deep Resentment grows
Upon him I projected
Every Wound and Crime
Committed from my infancy
Until present Time
I fashioned him a Hero –
That insubstantial Soul –
But when I cut him loose I saw
The Hero is my Self made whole.
