and what does one say to that? the cognescenti unaware aether runes hieroglyphs in invisible ink imaginary spectors cannot haunt live in terror of not being misunderstood cartouches etched out circling false prophesy closing eyes on knowledge baring soul first to weep erroneously |

I don't know what to say to this. So much is open... there is a lot of darkness here, loneliness... but I have to have a little hope in the last lines, "first to weep / erroneously." I have wept erroneously, only to find my heart reopened again. I hope that's somewhere in the speaker's future. |

What if the speaker isn't speaking about themselves? [This message has been edited by gothicmoth (edited 06-09-2000).] |

Perhaps, slowly, realization will dawn for the subject? But since the subject is "closing eyes / on knowledge / baring soul," s/he is probably a talker not a listener, and to "live in terror / of not being / misunderstood" points to the subject inventing their own pain, "imaginary spectors," etc. This is a very good portrait of a not-so-straight thinker. I know a couple people like that... too bad you can't grab them by the shoulders, shake them and say "Smell the coffee already!!" |
