Dying Again
DYING AGAIN
Or
GIACOMO DA LENTINI’S DEBACLE**
I died yesterday.
Again.
. . . not the horrific
death of years before,
but the soft soul-shatter
of yesterday’s fantasy.
I never survived
the bloodied murders
of my last psyche deaths.
Dying, I only lived.
I only lived, painfully.
But this time,
A new state, a new life,
has eerily absorbed me.
Fritz Crytzer
** Giancomo Da Lentini, a famous Italian poet, invented the form, “sonnet” in Medieval Italy, in the 13th century. Although this poem does have 14 lines, it does not reflect the structures that contrive a “sonnet”. It is indeed, a debacle!
