The Empty Man

A.B. Jakobsen

As a hunter who no prey can find

As a painter bereft of their sight

As a genius enslaved by a feeble mind  

This be his most gravest plight

 

Starved of his essence and his will

He plodded in the umbra of his mind

Then something he met to their rapturous thrill

That seeks what gods and friends leave behind

 

He pleaded, a heart empty of faith and love

“Gore me into art that even devils outbid!”

And the voracious body then taut thereof

Before a cackling shriek, for so they did…
