Excellent poem, John, and timely in addressing the issue of a great artist who is also deeply flawed and even dangerous to himself and others. The Petrarchan sonnet form fits it perfectly, Petrarch himself being a bit of a stalker.

Great one, John, and on one of my favorite artists -- I have a Bacchus on my kitchen wall.
