Freud 1939

                                        “Talking about the past is like a cat’s trying            
                                         to explain climbing down a ladder”
                                         Robert Lowell  letter 3.15.58

 With half a mouth
In his final years,
           Wholeheartedly,
           Sun and retina
           Aligned with tilted
           Manuscript,
           Lightning and silent
           Thunder of thoughts
           Flashing within,
           Pen on paper
           Correcting,
           Revising,
           Bearing witness
           As jack-boots
           Clacked
           On the cobbles
           And history
           Held words by the throat,
           The voice poured
           Out of the cracked vessel
           Like a prophet’s curse:
           “Death is not inside you
           ‘til you stare it down.
            The dream is only yours
            When you awaken.”
            Eugene Mahon  Sept. 2005
