Rather an Intermediate State

By Laszlo Aranyi (Frater Azmon)

PROMPT — I will not rest until ...

The same: to be or not to be... Illusory larval state...

The two reject the one,


his other half, so to speak.

It has become a ghostly, eternal borderline,

like the three

ubiquitous unclean spirits.

The demon-triad coming from the mouth of

the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet; all are toad-like

Dead wasps lie on a moldy moon-shadow-skin,


"gurgle, gurgle, gurgle",



the submerged man-head gurgling grotesquely;

so amusing of an end...


Eyes got caught up, the mouth is a lifeless gaping hole

between two protruding, bat-ears. (Ringing...)


In the doorway, the town dogcatcher, "Dogie" utters:

"Gentlemen, I have told you before, you could

learn from your dog,!" The author smells of mold and carcass,

the dogcatcher-like man leans to the firewall,

vomiting bile...
