White Self-Existig Wind/ / Resonant Monkey Moon of Attunement, Day 1


 

4 Ik

 

White Self-Existing Wind

 

 

Many a past Love had passed over me

Those I thought true became truly false

I lost all my Loves in Loss untimely

To Lust’s illusory three-quartered Waltz

 

Terrified of Solitude

Friendship I bought with purloined Emotion

Grief and Misery rendered me numb

Grandiose, aggressive, and rude

 

I starved and thirsted at Fate’s great Banquet

Refusing to learn or earn my Share

Finally abandoned by all who knew me

I gave myself up to Insanity

 

“Take me,” I prayed to a god unknown

“Release me from Hell on Earth.”

In Desperation I then found

A Bridge of Sighs over a River of Life

 

Part of me died – the Fear and the Pride

As a Newborn, I crossed the Bridge –

When at last I reached the other Side

I perceived a Meal most strange!

 

The Fare was unpleasant, not easy to swallow

It stuck in my Throat but nourished my Soul

Compelled to eat without knowing why

I had Breakfast of Crow and a large Humble Pie.
