Elegy to a Hunger Artist
May 3, 2016
We're all Picassos in our own right
Minds stretched taut between ideas;
Our cerebral crucifix
We dig for realer, rawer,
more unique
We hide behind masks of metaphor
We pump out reflections and static hums
Souls threadbare and shivering
We break down the same barriers as those before us,
Forget to turn out the light
We stomp out our meaning in quickly-melting snow;
Our mark as lucid and ephemeral as our words.
