Some new stuff
Still reworking and fine-tuning the poems I wrote last year and found again with that journal. It’s been an interesting process, allowing them to sit unopened that long and then looking at them again almost a year after most of them were initially written. It may be something I try again…only next time on purpose.
It’s been an extremely productive March…20+ new poems in the past 3 weeks, plus still going over the older work. Here is a couple of short ones. Not quite ready for prime time yet but I felt like posting them anyway.
Cadenza
To a singer, the throat is the terminal,
the magnetic field to which
all music points; the due north,
the guiding star, the apt conclusion.I have too much of voices
tinkling without resonance in my ear,
the primary is now secondary;
I need the skin and bones of you.For a Dancer
Your graceful arch on demi pointe
(beautiful naked counterbalance)
extended in arabesque
grazed my shoulder
my elbows facing downward
my chest now full of
the narrow reedy breath
exhaled from your thoughtful Ghandi face.
