Ekphrastic

April 6th

(From Goya’s Flight of the Witches)

“GROUNDWARD, SKYWARD”
Three figures
Blindness,
Madness, and
Stupidity
gaze
Groundward
seeking the
security of the
Proven.

Fantastical
hovering Trinity;
Triangle pointing
Skyward.

Internal
Struggle-
Dream versus
Reality,
Logic versus
Superstition.

Mental imbalance
driving the spirit
Upward,
weightlessly torn
between
Anguish and
Ecstasy.
