SECLUSION

SECLUSION

A Poem by john Robinson
"

fighting.

"

As I slowly recede into the retirement of my senses and withdraw into Timons of Athens,
there is a sculpture which releases the mysteries isolated within me.
Loneliness holds me in the quarantines of solitude.

The enigma of confidence seems to be the skeleton in the closet.
Like a thief in the night, under one's breath, I sneak up on the pokerfaced drunk.

Hungry as a wolf I sink my revengeful teeth into the obnoxious Saint Anthony, and watch as the sanity becomes self-possessed...

Your rage may be the reason for your loneliness, man...nobody likes a statue-hating saint killer.
Interesting poem, though. Strange subject matter.
Well executed, though.
