Mists
Does mist mean something in the mind? Besides
The coming of dementia with its fog
Of numb remembrance, Alzheimer’s knife slides
Right through the brain. Schizophrenia’s Gog
And Magog thrust an Armageddon in
The very citadel of logic. Does
Mist manufacture meaning in the thin,
Suspicious tissues of the heart? And was
There mist in Lucifer’s veiled spirit when
Instinctually he came to know our first
Hand-grenade thoughts and smelly feelings, then
Created a suicide bomber’s thirst?
..Our trenches tend to fill with chlorine gas.
….Mind mists are worst. They change to a morass.
