Dennis A. Zelazny Poems

Truth is like fire; few wish to be burned.
To be burned by one's truth, to allow truth to sear one's soul:
Here is the meaning and purpose of existence.
But ordinary life is the more attractive, easier alternative:
...

Plato's myth of the androgyne:
The original unity;
The union of the sexes in one individual,
Cleaved asunder, divided.
...

The darkness. The darkness at noon.
Prometheus, filled with compassion,
Filled with regret for the lost souls of the earth,
Is brooding above the gloom.
...
