ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE PERENNIAL DRAMA
Oedipus the most sublime
you wanted to know
and you knew
MORE you said....
and you knew
                     MORE
and you knew
STOP  SAID THE SHEPHERD!
MORE
MORE
MORE
and then....
you knew    T O O    M U C H . . .


YOU HAD DELVED TOO DEEP
AND SUDDENLY THE VOLCANO OF GUILT PANIC AND TERROR ERUPTED
and overwhelmed ALL with  horror 
and you, the only man that braved the Sphinx
did the ostrich thing:
You blinded yourself into darkness and easy oblivion
.................................
...................................
but after the panic
and despair
through the blindness
the curses
the rabid condemnation
of the mob
of brothers of sisters
fathers, mothers, uncles, spinster aunts
even sons
you   SAW   all
in a new and simple light ..
an old light ..
and like Atlas you lifted the IMPOSSIBLE weight
and stood up
upright
great
inimitable sublime
in your blindness
YOUR knowledge
enlightening a world of darkness ..
for all to SEE
..............
oedipus
if only they would see ..
wrote sophocles:
Oedipus Rex
of all lives
of all deaths
the most sublime ...
your transfiguration at Colonas shall forever be
THE TRAGIC DEATH OF THE MATRIARCH
