Majesty

Karol Bak

Man’s majesty lies in his inner core
foundations of morning wake-up calls
buzzers rituals tribulations travesty?

Man’s majesty rises above sometimes
melts below the surface water
into groundwater
into platonic shifts
bravery shunned.

This is okay.

No one is led astray,
human conditions rely on vast emotional platitudes
support vast universal coincidences
which do not exist

everything is planned down
to the inhibiting the organs inhabiting

human collections of bones and grafting
because the complexity of human behavior

is majestic, such as a multitude of daffodils
in fields of poppies.
