+-----In My Right Mind; The Thoughts Of The Gadarenes's Demoniac Sitting At Jesus' Feet Exorcised

I have known the wrath of Athena,
a most hideous madness enveloping,
transforming me; Medusa.
The metamorphosis of the fusion
of moribund thoughts with mine…
as though snakes entwined, coiled
about my scalp: Once fork
tongued whispers to “strip naked”
stirred into episodic of screams
of lunacy echoing in the Gadarenes
“KILL YOURSELF WITH STONES!”
(Its fullest expression beneath
the glow of the full moon, my howling).
But now- sanity, peace (and clothing)
somehow. No more froth, thank You,
lining my beard. Those demons
swim with pigs. Your smile,
kindness like "Perseus’s liberation".
Please…take me with you.

------Luke 8:26-35
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
