The title baffles me while the poem amazes me. Perhaps this contrast is intended? The three-lined poem is wonderfully evocative and reads aloud so well (so perfectly!). The poem itself is clarity, vivid. I imagine nightingales nearby, but not near the river where earlier the reeds were moving/rustling. I imagine the river and its banks. But the title? -- I don't know what to make of it. (Yes, I am being redundant.)
Firstly, thanks for the highly positive comments; as for being somewhat puzzled by the title, I can well understand why--another Zambaras overkill, I'm afraid, but I was just trying the point out the pollution that is slowly killing everything that was once very alive in the river, and it can be read as a companion piece to the poem you also like very much--CONFLUENCE.

ReplyDeleteNightingales near
the river.
No superfluous noise.
(Yes, "SEEPING MACULATION" is a wonderful companion piece!)
I'm glad you think so, too!
