Anything's Possible Insanity

Memories' claws catch weakness, sore substitutes for truth
Mind's future sambas hipswung with anticipated brew


Mother bird waits for non viable form to peck forth
- Maybe deserves haven, hollow where wings never grew


Taken for pyschiatric watch, her dignity snatched 
Wheeled through corridors' dizzying demented askew


Violent spine flings translate her refusal to succumb 
Praise oblivion wets periphery drenched in dew


Crazy called, insane answered, chat ensued furious
Before corridors consumed, dance quenched, she flew


Rhythm of obedient pulse beeps sanity's seep
Doctors molest old memories trenched, vague faded few


Sigrid's void has only her instinctive drive to leave
Hopeful risen dandelion seed on next gust blew

This makes Ken Kesey's stuff look timid. Right there with Alan Ginsberg... The embodiment of insanity. Perspicacious penning, Sigrid. Hallucinations and Peregrinations, Gershon

Thank you, dear Carolyn. I appreciate your read and commenting. This was a Ghazal attempt, obviously incorrect, but worth keeping.

This is quite the poem, my friend. I feel that your empathetic prowess has lived vicariously through one of these souls. This is how great it is.
