Crack In The Ceiling Poem by ives vanhouche

I see love as a destructive force. The man lays on his hospital bed looking at the ceiling. The crack represents his memory opening. How did he get here dying? Love stripped him of all that defined him and at the end there was nothing left beside his dying corps. As love is destructive it is also highly addictif. The man probably would surrender to it again. Black queen toppled... (chess) - trembling grounds => his world was trembling => poppies flowers arise, come out if the ground trembles (flanders battleground) => as the poppies (metafore for lust and...) arose so did also lust and.... under a blanket of dust... (he grew up in a small very religuous village in England) .
