SATURDAY POETRY

"Biographies should show people in their underwear...That way of looking at things is better..." ~C.G. Jung

UNDER THE WEAR

They say, a little under

the wear
should be fun to wear

the short
the shirt

show me that biography.


Show me yours

I'll show you mine
wet

glossed, the shirt
that way showing

a poetry more real.

PSYCHE'S TROPE

 Going Between Quiddler And Hide

Henry Moore, 1945
"People Looking At A Tied-up Object"

[excerpt]

...I have gratitude for Psyche’s veil. It is the way “Nature loves to hide.”


 "Phusis kruptesthai philei."  ~ Heraclitus

And there you catch it. The image, the veil, is the image itself as veil, as the covering that hides and that is itself this hide. The unknown object of dreams is an image of psyche-making.

In the myth, the gods give humanity to man this way. In form, feminine. But in material, immaterial, veil-like. Her name is Pandora, which means all-gift. Her psyche-making is this. She is a personfied notion for "image of psyche" which we inherit in its entirety without knowing what "it" "is".
