Six-Gun Serenade

Six-Gun Serenade   
The coffee shop and the poetry  The late afternoons and endless evenings  
full of alcohol and foolish, unproven boasts  
Wordless oaths that wrap around our wrists  tentative tendrils that wither in the morning   
The burning certainty  
that all the weight of wanting  
will give way to satisfaction  
in a single, salty kiss   
The words that tumble topsy-turvy over my tongue  Late mornings still filled with promise  Soft days like new jeans  still waiting to be broken in  Empty intersections  filled with meaningless signals  fl

A Pearl RingA Pearl Ring   
A grain of sand has slipped into my belly  It's nestled somewhere  
between the layers of tissue  red muscle and yellow fat   
It itches and burns as my body  
works it over, works it out  tears itself repeatedly against  its infinite imperfections  
wearing them away   
When the pearl emerges  I will set it in a ring and sell it  I do not need the jewel to remember  because I'll always have the scars A Pearl Ring

One More Misspent MorningOne More Misspent Morning   
I see him struggle every morning  He seems so strong  and the sheets seem so soft  but he cannot rise  cannot escape   
I see him surrender, whispering to himself  One more hour, just one more  as he resets the alarm and goes back to sleep  for one more misspent morning One More Misspent Morning

Epimetheus IIEpimetheus II   
I envy you, brother  your foresight, your courage  and your jet black hair  curls thick enough for grabbing   
You were always ready to wrestle  when all I wanted was to read  or sit listening to the old men snort and sigh  about the way it used to be   
I know, I know  What am I trying to say?  Spit it out, already  spit it out, stupid boy   
This stumbling tongue troubles me  It is your tool, not mine  Yours cuts to the bone  Mine has trouble with butter   
But where would your lips be, brother  without my ears Epimetheus II

UntitledHere, I make great effort to discover what it is that is Poem.   
No—that is not true,   
not quite. I make great effort, I suppose, and apply it   
to Poem, which this is not, but which attempts to touch   
Poem, or, rather, which attempts to fill it.   
I would like this to have a place, which Poem can provide.   
I would like this to be immediately metaphor, and then   
to hold it distinctly: “I am this and this is I and we are irrefutably Poem.

Journal Entry: Wed May 7, 2008, 1:40 PM

So, rather than slogging through the muck of the poetry section in dA, and let's be honest, there's a lot of it, I'm starting a list of my four favorite poets to read on dA right now. Post yours in the comments section so we can maximize our efforts. Feel free to copy the meme and post it on your journal to exploit your friends!

In no particular order...

You're welcome for all. I am really impressed by your writing. You're tackling a lot of interesting themes with a vigor and freshness that's incredibly rare around here. Happy myself to have come across your work.

I meant to get back on track and on time, really I did.

Ah, well. On the plus side, I now get to write about diners, Pennsylvania, and solstice! (you and your topics! Sheesh! *grin*)

Haven't read that yet, I just discovered her.
~epimetheus:iconepimetheus: Nov 12, 2007, 11:57:35 AM
I haven't read The Beauty of the Husband yet. I'm mostly enamoured with The Autobiography of Red, which isn't like anything else I've read by her at all.

Rock on with the NaNo Novel! I have another friend trying to do something for that as well. I'm having enough trouble with the one poem a week (and this cursed application essay I'm working on), so I decided to take it easy this year. Don't want to over extend my writing muscles, I guess.

I am very glad that we're doing the poetry project though (which I like to think of as "poetry pals"). No idea what I'm going to write about this week, but still glad to be doing it.

Keep rockin' that novel.

Anne Carson...I agree
~epimetheus:iconepimetheus: Oct 23, 2007, 9:43:39 AM
Yeah, I sense that a lot in the few people I've re-connected with in the last few days. Everyone remembers their time on dA with fondness, and wishes they were as creative and productive as they were then, and they're trying to get back to it. Well, no time like the present to get started. I'm going to note you and Amy about our project.

Learning to write again is an enormous challenge.

I've lost touch with my writing, but I'm working on it.
Life is otherwise alright. Being a student again is strange, but very fufilling.

~amyfae tells me you're starting a poetry "workshop" thing. If there's still an opening I want it!

I've been good. Recovering. Healing. Now I'm learning how to write again, and it's difficult. I'm out of practice, and it's humbling to have to begin again. But I know that I need it, and I want it to be something more than a regret.

How are you?
