by Tzara
Such lovely phrasing though I'm not sure I get how the half-night of wistfulness--a great phrase--would enable you to excavate roots more easily. Yeah I know it's an allusion; I think maybe "strong enough" is throwing me. Maybe there's something more precise to express what you mean. "brave enough"? But really it's lovely and I adore the ending. The tone is so delicate and yearny. Recommended in today's New Poems reviews.
This is a stunning poem. I hope it didn't come easily. I hope you had to sweat over it. Yes, I want you to work hard for good poetry! :)
endjoyed the orginal wording and placement of...simply put, I have not read a
more visual piece in a while ...one of your finest poems...blue
Sensuous and ecstatic line-weaving, here. I really like your tropes and use of "intuitive association", Tzara. Reminds one of the decadent poets blended with the late Imagists, as well as Catullus. Bravo.
