Requiem for a lift

Lorenz

The elevator doors open  softly 

on the litany  of the last  journey.

Elisa invokes the cabalistic shape

canibalizing  her soul ...

She runs down the stairs  

where the shape awaits her .

She runs up  the  stairs 

where the shape  awaits here.

The elevator doors  close softly

death  turns it on the lam 

fatal hotel  California ...

Elisa takes her bag of exploded polarity,

thoughts decayed into millions of  atoms

 flowing along the taps, spice of memory ,

Elisa taste in the mystery of  space ...

The shape having a beer in the fridge,

settles down on its couch, watching 

a special  destiny  program ...

        Sometime I feel like a literary necrophiliac...

      • Bella Shepard

        I think I see Elisa battling mental illness. Her bag of exploded polarity, the mood swings in which she is held captive by the cabalistic shape that canabalizes her mind and from which she cannot escape. To her it is real. I may have it all wrong, but I love it. Powerful write dear poet.

          Her destiny had a link with a place full of madness.
