Sun
your shadow not
of itself, a burning
display of incrimination.

Life Lines
along the line
you draw, another
longer one reigns
supreme.

Sense of Solitude
you want to impart,
dispense with it
like the wind
parting pines.

If it is
all the same
to you, I’ll take
all you have
and then some, too.
"Sense of Solitude" is a gem, not just in terms of masterful word play but its striking "letting go" wisdom.
ReplyDeleteI see creative "dissonances" in all of them.
Wonderful!
Thanks, Conrad for your kind words on these somewhat "slight" efforts; as a gloss on Traces, two days ago I somewhat automatically began to write down the first word/phrase that came into my mind, with the intention of getting in and out of the poem as quickly as possible with few or no revisions but still leaving traces of where I was. I don't know where this urge is going to take me but I'm willing to follow it for as long as it wants me to tag along!
