Arctic Acuity


mind marooned 
in 
complex convolution
of
singular anonymity 
morphs morbid  
into
psychic silhouette 
deprived despised
of
enlightened elements 
of
acquired attributes 
abruptly waned 

reserved recess 
conceals conundrum
of 
sub-conscious search 
completely clueless
for 
exploration entreaty
as
persuasive ploy
of 
outside world  
can’t contrive 
forsaken mind

pining prisoner 
of 
own making
captive cocoon 
in 
introvert isolation
innate vision
scans sightless
faces fading 
in 
fathomless oblivion

morphed mind 
accepts acquiescent
archenemy Nemesis
makes a menagerie 
of 
moving mirage
mystique guide 
to 
illusion oasis 
reflecting radiant
from 
cobalt cauldron
confined contentment 
of
identity reverence

self-veneration 
pretentious perspicacity 
of 
fake facsimile 
invents Narcissus 
as 
secret switching 
over to obsession
as 
senseless specter  
languishing listless
beneath 
opaque stratum 
of 
arctic acuity 
as
petrified essence
in 
darkness frozen
