Charron’s Chiron

Reverse centaur,

my horse gallops inside.

Careening into ribs

—circling cerebral stalls

—pawing emotional tundra

—digging through dirt for wild sage.

A spooked rush to aim Maltov Cocktails toward the dark…

Defective pyrotechnic shows

that confound lassos

and burn petrified barns.

Stippling withers of

Freudian chimera with ember.

Uncarved, exploding

not-wholes

that brand as they illuminate—

8.

8 unfenced paths by the Sea,

Interwoven as wire without barb

or sticking point.

all roads

I bring to you an arrow, whole, Use it, or break it, But if you choose to take it --Know-- With it also, I will go. © Karen Robiscoe @1992

  …and i could listen! o LO LO LO…thank U Mimi. I really liked how this came out, too, being all kinds of fascinated with the Super Ego, Id, and Ego thing…and of course the magic thing, too. The “Makes Believables” 🙂

I like the use of ‘∞’ in this piece, or I suppose that is what you meant. At least, that is how I read it. You just become cleverer and cleverer with your word-smithing. Molotov, by the way.

  actually–that works. I have come to view 8 as the most significant of numbers–for precisely that reason…as well as very significant events have occurred in a year ending in 8 (8, 18, 28…) I used to be partial to the trinity–which is still great–but i think 8 might be the more relevant number, cosmologically speaking.
  
  I am worried. I just turned 48! What the hell might happen this year–and did it already…
