Madness

The Madness of Lykourgos, Apulian red-figurevase C4th B.C., Antikensammlungen, Munich

I know it is madness. Madness as is thought to be. Madness even if madness is not the madness most men of madness claim to be, mad. Madness as a pure thing of madness itself. Madness as a separation from the world and a union with the cold night of remembrance where creatures and their memories haunt and scurry with little regard for their doings and little care for the temple that holds them. Madness is a yoyo without a string, but one one plays upon with no notice. Madness is winter alone without cold or ice but that is all that is there. Madness is a string with no nest for a broken blue ova. a red robin weeps and we call it a song. Madness is all the songbirds no longer and madness is the sameness of all things that once diverged. Madness is now, madness is here, madness all around us. Madness.

Blown Away

Sometimes my mind just wants to blow away with the wind and never come back like nothing was. Thoughts that no longer have any facts to prove they exist. Memories without a past. Nothing without something. There’s a cold corner in hell reserved for those who like the heat. Heaven has halos for the best of them and no guarantee for the rest of them. What did I do yesterday and will I remember it tomorrow for some reason. Or will it come back to me on my deathbed at the moment my brain takes flight like a dandelion’s little parachutes whisked away by a breeze from the mouth of a child? Why am I haunted by places I’m not sure existed. Why do I remember an item and not where it lay? Things grouped together for what reason I know not and then those torn apart never to be put together again. Humpty Dumpty is an omelet -- when did it become a law to kill and not to love?
