Body and Soul

by Sharon Bryan (excerpted)

They grow up together

but they aren't even fraternal

twins, they quarrel a lot

about where to go and what

to do, the body complains

about having to carry

the soul everywhere as if

it were some helpless cripple,

and the soul snipes that it can go

places the body never dreamed of,

then they quarrel over which one of them

does the dreaming, but the truth is,

they can't live without each other and

they both know it, anima, animosity........

Interesting words to accompany this sad image. The color saturation is excellent.

Ah yes duality and paradox - can't envision life without them - can't even speak of anything without them. The one with the scarf and vest must be the corporeal one.

It's like the Cemetery of the Knudles.
