Super Hero


"Super Hero"



Krypto Knighted
Disrobed Le Penseur 
contemplates strength
a royal monk disrobing within
Rodin begins to think
new dreams dialled in
naked vulnerability begins
hiding behind dark angel wings
pinned between the box-cadged 
dimensions of a glass onion
black crows waiting along the ley lines lead, 
super natural morsel fed
dark nights fly into unhooded blinding daze
towards the gauntlet 
landing tethered and tamed
temperated, nixed and disarmed
Hawk of the Lure, 
long winged
creance held
in the grey rock silence
evaluated
hard-penned
full-summed

(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)

“Land of the lost and sedated 
Will someone come, 
Save us from, 
This storyline of mass destruction 
Will they stay, 
When they see, 
What we have done 
just to be free…”

Le Penseur.
The Thinker was initially named The Poet (French: Le Poète), and was part of a large commission begun in 1880 for a doorway surround called The Gates of Hell. Rodin based this on The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, and most of the figures in the work represented the main characters in the poem with The Thinker at the center of the composition over the doorway and somewhat larger than most of the other figures. Some critics believe that it was originally intended to depict Dante at the gates of Hell, pondering his great poem. Other critics reject that theory, pointing out that the figure is naked while Dante is fully clothed throughout his poem, and that the sculpture's physique does not correspond to Dante's effete figure. The sculpture is nude, as Rodin wanted a heroic figure in the tradition of Michelangelo, to represent intellect as well as poetry.

In the valley of nothing he stood naked, to thought, to oppression, to pain searching the horizon. She glides in green eye gaze flapping her wings, revolving his emptiness in rings. Her feathers blend in with his blue and he caresses her (k)new. Excellent Modesty x

A poem about Falconry, metaphorically speaking. A poem essentially about trust and respect...and possibly control. One wonders who is the falcon and who is the keeper in this story. Dante at the Gates of Hell. A psychological mystery.
