       Letter to Myself



what does it take for you to finally, finally, finally

even notice the spiritual civil war that is raging on

inside all and every single human soul?

and would not that be such an artwork,

so destructive, so beautiful, so hopeful,

just we recognized its buzzing and burning below

the thresholds of routine, tedium and dullness?



a length of days you shall not acquire;

a fortitude of spirit, but an ideal in your heart;

nerve, guts, gallantry... spectres haunting your house!

the gaze of a hero you have not,

but on your back, burning, as you turn from challenges! 



you shall be led to an abyss of fire

   and you shall be contained therein

      until but coal and shame remain there down.

     like a maid brings cloth to the river

     you brought the golden mystery

     to a creek of waste and pollution

     as to let it rinse, wash therein!



           but what soiled holy silk

           can be cleansed with filth-water?



   encased into the stone of history you are

   as an immortal pig amongst men:

         immortal, yes, but what pork

         does not rot sour in infinity?
