SAINT JULIAN PRESS
Kevin McGrath ~ Romance: The Only Life
In this enigmatic poem, the panther emerges as a symbol of an elusive, almost transcendent force that permeates the speaker's existence. Perceived only by "the odour of its breath," this creature embodies an unbearable truth and a perfect vitality that both compels and eludes. The panther's presence strips the speaker of pretense, confronting them with a solitude where time dissolves—"yesterday and tomorrow simply do not exist."
Traditional expressions of connection—songs, kisses, touches—prove inadequate against the overwhelming essence of this encounter. The poem navigates the space where human constructs fall away, revealing a profound vulnerability born from facing an absolute, ineffable reality. Ultimately, it meditates on the transformative power of confronting a beauty that transcends conventional understanding, leaving the speaker in solitary awe of an unspeakable truth.
