Here, Camus






Suicide
a Minotaur

stalks
the Labyrinth
the Folds
of my Brain

Dark
Foul Smelling
Masculine

He sees me
he bellows
he paws
the Slime
with his Black Toe Nails

Jack Fruit Breath
shoots out his Nostrils like
Steam out of a Whistle

I know he wants to impale me

but Every Couple of Days
I venture in
to look at him

The Game is

I must find my Way out of the Labyrinth

before he skewers me

on his Jet Black Horns

I run with the Conviction that Some One must care

Some where

in Space

or through Time

that I have lived

a Door opened in Darkness

an Ant Hill stacked around a no Thing
that screams out of my Eyes

calling a Saviour to me with a Double Helix's Wail:

“ Perpetuate

Procreate

Children

Send me vomiting forward

Let me throw away my Skin and keep moving

This is why Music was invented

Dances begun

Electricity poured down Bones

Songs torn from Sternums

Poems jotted down for Safe keeping

Stories compiled

Religions asserted

Wars fought

Enemies let make love
and dry the Sheets
on which they tussled
with their re Captured Breath and
Hysterical Laughter

The Button pushed and the Cycle repeated

The Washing Machine started
the Dinner Ware placed
and the Garden tidied

So you don't have to listen to the Siren
within the Siren
shout

‘ What's the Point?
What's the Point?
What's the Point? ’

Every Time the Beast gets out ”

A Hero saves me
Every One wins
even if no One gets it
and I argue with the Mythologists
