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!

There's some potent angst in this one, Fritz! I was especially caught off guard by the line "Dying, I only lived.". Hope you are well.
