I am a bit like Messerschmidt, though not a sculptor/visual artist, making approximations of my soul, eradicating the "devils," only to subside, within, them, in my "art." I'm a post grad student. On disability at the moment, as my Lupus has been ferocious. I believe where there is sorrow there IS holy ground, and every personality should pursue beauty. That sublime star worn behind the mask that is life and death.

I must say, this poem has also made my day. I was a student at Stony Brook. I'm presently on disability, because of Lupus. Lupus Nephritis, too. Fortunately my kidneys are stable, but the powerful meds I'm on make it hard to even exist. Even so, there is no woe here; I pursue poetry, my own and experiencing others. I'd read Baudelaire's essay on Wagner fully today, were I not so ill. But you, Mr. Phillips, have made my day. :-) Thank You. I'd write something more profound, but am rather tired from the bucketfuls of vomit/bile I produced yesterday! Thank You.
