antedecedent
my erection is the Philosophers Stone
pre-fab metaphor for any and all
lost my love of life, myself,
what little i’d had, had i had it i’d have
let it all go along with my ego
for what, just what, purpose
have i served
my erection is symbolic of life
surprise, rise, the fall, that’s all

I’ve appreciated all your poems, Ian. You are looking deeply and help us to also understand what is there. Nice writing.
Wow, Laura, you are too kind
