“We desire according to the desire of the other.” - Rene Girard
Anti-septic joy-killers
look for those who have
honest relationships
with their own hearts,
while willfully seeking
to back persons who wallow
in well-financed ignorance
and thoughtful thoughtlessness.
Mourners remember, others ignore,
the name of the last one
lowered into the ground.
Call on the people of the margins,
those who suffer suffering,
until the wizard behind
the green curtain is revealed.
Only then may we return
to the place where we
can desire for ourselves.
