Eligos - Babbling Ghost #15

Glen Lantz, July 2009

you are the subject of hope and bewilderment     your incandescent hovering ghost     I find you at the Metropolitan Museum     you are staring at a French Sculpture from the Renaissance     you say it reminds you of revolution     so many mediums     a beautiful middleclass housewife     living in the big city     wanting to burn it all down     throw it all into turmoil     rather than vain mediocrity     you draw the letters out when you say it     as if it has a special meaning

 

I have no armor left     I am defenseless     you have taken it from me     warmly burnished     throwing out the first pitch     looking at the people     all of the people     we walk along the gleaming white concrete     the fools smitten with love     another concrete blonde
