THE SHIPWRECK OF KICHLE

"Showing the vague mouth
of some huge dead sea-monster
extinguished in the water.
…Even now they’re going down obliquely
toward the pebbles on the sea depth,
white lecythus."


"Nekyia": The nativity
of an anthropocentric philosophy.
The enormous Homeric issue
and the precious heritage
that is re-created, offering a beneficial refuge.

The descent to the realm of the dead
is the absolute need for introspection
under the burden of a psychic crash
caused by the absence of humans as well as
by deterioration and suffocating baseness.
It is the drama experienced through reverie
and the umbilical cord of historic heritage
for the acquisition of self-consciousness and
the grandeur of degradation.
