Archetype

Indistinguishable things that cling irresponsibly 

to phantoms at the back of the mind 

pretending possibilities exist hidden in the dark

disposable or irreconcilable motives 

for creating exceptional works of art out of clay 

great sculptures of naked ambitions 

doomed to be disillusioned without any chance 

of a decent death and black candles 

a martyr to prejudice and an empire of dreams.
