WHAT IS IT?
A Poem Styled after Erich Fried’s,
WAS ES IST?



It’s nonsense,
Says Reason;
It is alpha and omega,
Says Heart.

It brings suffering,
Nothing but pain,
We may never breach
The Grand Canyon,
This separates us,
No matter how many,
We celebrate,
The wedded years, the bliss,
Rejoins Analysis.

But we might die for it,
Gladly give our life
Hence it remains the chief,
The whole of existence,
Romance mightily counters.

Folly,
The height of irresponsibility,
It seduces us
From nobility and labor,
And would have us forget,
The disappointment,
That sad story we already know.
Insanity to repeat
What had happened before,
And expect to gain different result,
Reckons Logic.

No! Not so,
Love hollers.

It is a state of grace,
Not the means
To one thing, or another,
But wholly resides within itself,
It signifies God’s Eternity,
Claims my Desire.
