A Double Life
by Jeffrey
E OPENED the door of the day and stepped
into the solitude to seduce the ghosts
that his religion refused to foreclose,
as the fugitive awaits the footfalls
that won't echo in phantom syllables
behind the mask of his illusions,
where Dionysus still maps the unknown
across his limbic canyon of shadows…
he wonders… how will desire part lips?
The vertigo nearly makes him repent.
