Kitsch
The stallion poses no threat for he is blind. His hoofs are firmly imbedded; for good measure is restrained by a single rose, posing no threat whatsoever. Yet we see only a glimmer of man hiding within the statue afraid to be honest with those who peer at the depiction of this refined and restrained powerful creature. The artist illustrates the ultimate kitsch by mockingly portraying a fearsome rearing steed in a stylized manner then he discloses envy and embarrassment by placing man inside the statue. Mankind reacts to the unusual by proclaiming it "kitsch" instead of honestly taking ownership of his most inner thoughts.

Kitsch
Between the gory mountain of hidden souls, and the cursed Valley of the
Kings, stands statue like the doomed, the blind, the turned once
unicorn called Kitsch, daemonic thing. Once a soft magical creature of
silver hue I heard, until it wandered mistakenly into No Man's Land and
I feared it lost to the devil's will, my word!. And the shape- changed
beast gave a stutter and swallowed whole the man, to spit out hot blood
and something else, in the worst fight, as only the terror Kitsch can.
But man had a spirit that stirred ,from the confines of statued beast.
He peeps, he waits, he groans, he fears until he's done his task so
neat. True his spirit longs to see who is at the gate or beyond the
mountain trail but one day a Don, a good Quixote must come to sort out
the multi-horned beast of hate. And the coal-black heart of the Kitsch
the Don will sever from within, to free man's spirit then banish the
Kitsch because of mortal sin. And in the time it takes to happen, the
mountain's shift their peaks, the Red Rose also creeps along, steady and
through, between the legs of prancing, frozen statue Kitsch.
