The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

        the apartment is full of us

        me

        one by one they laugh at each other

        walk away from the border of brilliance

        seek the thing

        which is beyond it

        with striped eyes

        groping hands

        legs wooden

        heads full of pictures

 

        the steel one

        most solid of all

        calls them

        one by one with their splintered names

        and they bend like bubbles

        let their faces be illuminated

        a moment

        in the last begging vision       

        vanish back to possibilities

        without a fight

 

        but there are a lot of us

        one writes

        and metal locks the fingers

        second dances to the mirror

        until iron stiffens the legs

        fourth cuts himself disfigured

        only to have his scissors rebound from the hardness

        it doesn't let us go

        no

 

        no

        even when

        we suffocate it in laughter

When I read this, I think of the Dreamer and all the persona who fragmented from him.

 

I think I should start searching for your writings where in you started destroying the fragments.

Were they no longer emotionally necessary, and therefore discarded?
