All Encompassing Art Demands A Body Poem by Terence George Craddock

direct look
disconcerting
sees beyond

shadows
masks
flesh bone
heart mind

spun rapture?

medium
medium genuine
must create
burn out

creative
juices
passions
searing souls?

commitment
passion
professional
seizes

moments
no time
to play
jack ass

artist
no hobby
horses
to ride?

all encompassing
art insight
demands
a pound of flesh

then whole
body
in songs
sung

artistic wired?

good
prove it
proved
in moments

hours days years
stretching
into self
absorbed soliloquy?
