Persona Poem by Mihaela Pirjol

'I'

is vanishing...

in anonymity,

depersonalised of being:

i am quicksilver

through thoughts and images...

now

i am metamorphosing

in a nimbus,

floating...

numb

in a somnolent idea...

eye!

i am losing the 'I'

observe the Self

in a frantic agitation

to preserve itself:

becomes non-carnal,

hollow...echoes...

terrified of plenty

past symbols and analogies,

playing 'hide-and-seek'—

alas! the dance of masks is sick!

remain a halo,

non-sense!

...putrefaction with no senses...
