    Going Away From Down

    Someone said:
    "Hold the poem to the ground..."
    The same ground that ties this frightened granite
    The same that name that flattened mound
    Spelling spells the ivory mansion tells
    Is this the that implied in missed?

    THIS is nameless fatal tasting plate
    The all for love for all to hate
    The chaste and faceless lace this glass
    The cork from the bottle that held back the evening flood

    Try diving inner minutes dead
    The mummified zombie promise ring
    Try tongue touching frozen flagpole pain
    The tea chest aches and heaves the weight
    The wheezes leaving the cigarette wretch
    Try wishing to die to the left

    Or please indulge the sultry prison gate
    The tearful recitation making days
    The one true held in higher is Great
    The questioning deafening
    The lessening leper
    Anointed clean, free to supplicate

    To raise elect the elevate
    Transcending split second sacred
    Away this shuttered
    Ground

    "frightened granite"! you have a most interesting word choice. Using seemingly random words to tap into something that is otherwise inexpressable. Nice WOrk. Thanks!

    "Is this the that implied in missed?" The surrealist tries to provoke his victim to investigate what he has deliberately or intutively seeks to hide in creation. Confusion, contradictions , unnatural juxtaposition and combinatins, grotesque images and inversions and incongruities are the tools of his art. Adel Kernan is a promising artisan of the surrealist genre.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
