VIII








on this stage
acts of betrayal
traitors of special relationships
frozen in a lake of ice




“the place where shame
can show itself”
betrayers of kindred and guests
ice to their chins




a soul falls sometimes
body possessed
seeming to have Aura
incapable of Authenticity




betrayers of Being
completely encapsulated in ice
distorted in all conceivable positions
no one to talk to
