Poem
through the key-hole surgery of my delicate heart you have reached into the inner sanctum of my soul in Plato’s cave where I have locked away my demons betrayed by worm casts of secretive earthworms cold and unyielding queen conch shell lips suited for bathroom decoration relentlessly searching out my responses fevered brow only registers your fragrance reminiscent of a gallery of stalactites and stalagmites which alternately drip and collect in a sterile environment deep in the bowls of the earth striving to rival the statue of Shapur I where enlightenment and conscience never reach you’re only to be admired by a mere lucky few it is just a happenstance that I was not the first to succumb to wiles my heart now keeps pace with a deceit of lapwings slowly stirring the air around their ground roost— drawing fire away from it I willingly prostrate myself on rocks you command resigned to my fate to be used in lapidary and turned into an objectified status symbol surrender is ultimately more satisfying and infinitely sweeter INSPIRED BY THE METAPHORICAL REALISM ART OF VLADIMIR KUSH ________________________________________________ POET'S NOTES A group of lapwings is called a "deceit". ~Wikipedia As with other artistic movements that shaped poetry throughout the ages, METAPHORICAL REALISM will influence poetry. My Suzette Prime, which requires a philosophical statement, might be the ideal vehicle to address this genre, ie the argument as to what constitutes reality? The term ‘metaphorical realism’ appropriately suggests both the undermining of literal realism and the elevation of metaphor.
