Self portraits

Lorenz

Identity fertlized ad nauseam .

On a path between compostela 

and Ibiza .

Thus ,offended by a non-being

stylised in  bling-bling letters

the fairies lay wise cubist fantasia

on my birth coffin .

I am only this acrylic impression

on unspoken canvas ,

abstraction in the circus of the living ,

figural museum piece  

pickled in autistic reverie ...

That's make Dali's moustache 

stand on end ! 

And Modigliani's long nose lenghtens ! 

My father ,this custom officer 

with such a tender smile.

 Told me :

   "You'll be an artist my son ! ''

  ( Dad ,died of a bad temper ...)

Me ,I would have liked to be 

 a mechanic in the Titanic 's womb

and  sink into the limbo ..

 ( Mom is a I.A in another dimension).

  This world would have been smoother 

if Maradona had been a landscaper ...

 I've lost the damn' blue house key...

 This year Leonardo won the giro .

   I love this essence in  China ochre 

 for wild pastel souls .

Unfinished portraits,

scrawled faces of pastime girls

and pastiches..

Stealthy prints in sorrowful skins...

But the grimacing beast is still there !

  Taking up the pose ,

making grotesque features 

  and whispering sweet  little nothings 

'' I've bought a frozen life for tonight love ! ''

    What is of importance? Whatever blows your hair back. A fun read full of more metaphor than I could keep track of

    • Lorenz

      A work that does not seek to please and assumes its uniformity !

    • Ellen Marsell

      Grotesque, caricature, tragicomedy. The poem feels like it’s assembled from brushstrokes of old posters, half-forgotten jokes, and cultural references. That’s its special charm. I really like it.

      • Lorenz

        Poetry screaming in the background !
