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!

Michael Whatley August 28, 2019 at 3:45 AM 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. Fritz Crytzer August 21, 2022 at 10:37 AM Doing quite well. Now living in Clarkesville, Georgia. I am at [email protected]. How are you? Fritz Crytzer
