BACON ON FREUD

Angel of light's heaviness
backed by enlightened demons
in a gormandized crunch
touched up by high art
devouring us from darkness
colored in imperative motifs
painted on a protean canvas
in a parting portrait
from chivalry and rivalry
in a middle aged compassion
as Matisse/ Picasso
Turner/ Constable
their psycho sexual patinas
exposes us beyond any image
or flat field of orthoscopic
proportional representation,
a retrospective tone and time
of sophisticated genius
at our democratic dimension
and age of accessible depth
with a sworn brush of empathy.
