Poem
“Possessed” The scarlet of her heart opens where she blooms deepest from the cuts of Past’s insanity her windows full green undressed him, in his mind; he confessed, in quiet reflection, he had lost his head irrevocably - and taking his brush dipped it in fresh rouge cadmium across her throat he wrote the words on her warm skin in his mind, soft as cream velvet, “Possessed”, across her heart he prints, “Here Circe’s Seduction Flows” in his mind, she is a witch goddess poet, words from her virtual bewitching... flow sensually he guides his artisan strokes from the bud of her ripe breast traversing the valley to her waist, Sisyphus glides over her thigh, he plays her like a harp for a while caresses her dark hair attentive, leaning in close breathing over her his breath whispering like a lover over her story he paints the Life in Her full Red “volupte liberti ad infiniti” are the final words he writes on her he is possessed (LadyLabyrinth / 2020) “Her”/ Rosenfeld https://youtu.be/zCPVcWCgWCE “I will never know how you see red and you will never know how I see it.” Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red “the smear of red on the seashell lining of your skin is belle poésie” Avijeet Das “In red, you feel naked even when you are dressed.” Chloe Thurlow,The Secret Life of Girls “Eurydice sits alone on a red bed. She has flaming red hair, so flaming that you can't see anything else of her, much less anything else around her. She takes up too much space. Also she's mad. Which has nothing to do with anything. She lives in her own world because she makes the whole world hers.” Kathy Acker,Eurydice in the Underworld Artist: Jordi Diaz Alama https://www.diazalama.com Artist: Mitch Griffiths https://www.mitchgriffiths.com volupte liberti ad infiniti / Latin/translation. Corsican/translation. Sensuously/Sensually "The terms share the root sens-, which means to arouse the senses. Sensual has referred to gratifying carnal, especially sexual, senses since before 1425. Sensuous is believed to have been created by John Milton in 1641 to mean relating to the senses instead of the intellect without the sexual connotation." "Through the classical influence on modern culture, tasks that are both laborious and futile are therefore described as Sisyphean" A different kind of hero. "Le Mythe de Sisyphe"/Camus, 1942.
