The Ghosts of All Those Lost Tomorrows


"The Ghosts of All Those Lost Tomorrows" 

voiceless Munch seen laughing
when all the ghosts of those lost tomorrows
come stampeding into dreams 
like a forewarning, carrying the colours
of their ever changing empathy

jokes 
seen through 
kaleidoscopes 

of dead others

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

"He paints, or rather regards, things in a way that is different from that of other artists. He sees only the essential, and that, naturally, is all he paints. For this reason Munch's pictures are as a rule "not complete", as people are so delighted to discover for themselves. Oh, yes, they are complete. His complete handiwork. Art is complete once the artist has really said everything that was on his mind, and this is precisely the advantage Munch has over painters of the other generation, that he really knows how to show us what he has felt, and what has gripped him, and to this he subordinates everything else."
