Simulacrum

Lorenz

the crazy one's don't  talk .

Out of fear of saying something sensible

with words that no longer have 

the same meaning ...

They mumify into a staring eye ,

forgotten at the back of a closet full of lies 

that frightens the living ...

 Naked angels trapped in the gears 

of an endless  disembodied dance,

 evil  rhythm on the recall of oblivion...

 something with human farce 

that the shameful twilight ,

conceals like  a sister of mercy ...

  the flower of  abnormality 

thirsts an  organic seed...

  Sacrifice within yourself that sane archangel

who chains you with its deceptive  gospel  ! 

 Burlesque acrobat teetering 

in a disabled thread ...

 Madman ,delighting 

in the mirror of disgrace .

 Greeting this familiar stranger 

that disguises itself to appear  on stage 

in a more acceptable disarray ...

 Simulacrum added to kabbalistic mechanics 

that spins within the fulness of the void...

 Do you recognize me ?

      The fool acts like a fool and the sensible person as a sensible person .but the roles can be reversed without anyone realizing it...

        Sit the fool on a stool and one will soon see the wise raise from the stool of the fool

        The main mystery is whether a true "self" exists.

          Lorenz, I deeply relate to the tension between the self presented to the world and the stranger encountered within. Sometimes what society calls normal feels like the greater disguise. This gave me plenty to contemplate, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
