Yep...at times an 'ecstacy of truth'.......
well... isn't....
seems to lack an element of 'ruth'.....
ain't pleasant.....
not gussied up with metaphor
or clothed in grace.... with stylish spore
nor seed that pleases when it blooms....
no, not from those sequestered rooms...
chambers needing sweeping, dusting...
crumbling, lightless, seething...thrusting
forth a blemished growth, delusion....
rife with acrid taste, confusion....
yet, seeking air and clarity...
nor claiming it's a rarity
to be subject.....
......being human.....
.to a fog-borne spell
......consumin'....
rather be, say, Harry Truman....
haberdasher...'give 'em hell'...
or a flasher...with a bell,
a raincoat and a merry widow....
or a hound, lips flecked with spittal....
or a pancake on a griddle,
sizzling, says, 'tell me a riddle'....
a tune played on a one string'd fiddle....
a place 'twixt sun and moon.... a middle
ground..... in flames that cleanse and purge
an unskinned cat...a laughing dirge.....
..
delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........
