Beauty of the Beast

Negotiating the Labyrinth of Self

By: Charles Giuliano - Apr 13, 2015

Beauty of the Beast

Labyrinth of self
How not to get lost
Into the maze
Hall of mirrors
False impressions
Faceted cubism
Confronting
The Minotaur
Bull and human
Beast of art
Devouring sacrifices
Boys and maidens
Untested warriors
Withering
Overpowering
Inner demons
Matador
Picador's taunting insults
Enraging the monster
Deadly charge
Sharp horns
No ole
Empty arena
Studio devoid of spectators
Lacking a cape
Bare sword
Brutal combat
Powerful and triumphant
Unwinding the string
Of memory
Exiting the cave
Retracing steps
Brandishing severed head
Signifier
Of creativity
