ONE DARK, CUTTING MOMENT

Mel Waldman

I’m just one dark, cutting moment away from insanity,
one breathless second from brutality,
a burgeoning beast

at one invisible point of demarcation,
separating

good
&
evil,

when the Devil calls, wearing the mask of righteous rage

& I succumb or saunter off,
a weary traveler in the
eternal labyrinth,

stumbling upon safety,
a rock of inaction,

while my twin donates his soul for the mere illusion of
omnipotence,

swallowing the transient power of rage,

& rushing through the Waste Land like a mad bull in heat,
heading toward a
black hole

that will devour his flesh,
feasting upon his hubris,

in one dark, cutting moment from which there is no return
