Read this fascinating piece with interest , loving your clever title , you take this latest Kafkaesque venture to a new level expanding on your other Josephine K writes and of course the K and joseph K pieces directly related to the Kafka Trial Character .You portray her the female Josef as the city, of the city that created and controls her , a city tied by reference to the river to Prague but I understand that in this surrealist piece you are writing of a vague undefined place like the Castle in Kafkas piece where the place is an unreachable place .She is of the working class and the setting a year before the war of the senses the only reference I could find was to the war in Baghdad , again I assume this could be a surrealist imagined war .
She is questioning her womanhood her femininity as she lives in the dark working class uninspiring part of the city among that created her .She wonders if she is more woman in that dark light or in the depths of her melancholia brought on by her circumstances . She imagines the river her lover running through her a river also of the city that created and controls her life, her thoughts like a mind control device , the city that has created mindless despots who wander the world useless , dead gods are the fire in the air , assume the city has no place for Gods in its controlled space or no place for them in the minds of those they control. At night she commits the ultimate crime against her city her creator she herself creates through her writing finding writing a sad experience in these circumstances

I love this piece created with your as always intelligent sensitive pen . You are developing a theme along the line of thought control and lack of personal freedoms which of course freedom and justice being two of your motivators for writing are perfect topics .Having read a little and watched a little Kafka work I love how you have been inspired by his style and made a style of your own in all your J pieces .It is a short piece but every line and word hold significance to the narrative of Josefine K and her struggles .I found it intriguing, that thought of place creating and controlling lives and her sadness at her plight and the fact that her writing was a crime in the city of control and could only be done under cover of night .
A clever piece ,with great metaphor ,imagery and language , a short thought provoking read that grabbed my attention from the start and a fine development of the Josefine K character and theme .
Your creative talent , intellect and sensitive heart always combine so perfectly when you write that you give beautifully engaging , creative , intelligent poetry in a style you have created for yourself that will always have the humanitarian themes of love , freedoms and justice/ injustice running through their heart , because they are the fabric of your heart and soul that you never hold back on sharing in your creation of poetic artistry .
You are an awesome poet my habibi and I look forward to seeing how Ms Josefine develops in future writes on this theme
Usual offer to edit etc of course applies if I have misconstrued anything in your amazing write
Thanks for another wonderful experience as you lift my mind from the mundane into your magical poetic realms
