BTT #8.2: Dysphoria and Rain.

On May 13, 2020May 13, 2020 By Lona GyntIn Poetry5 Comments

Anything I have written is percolating and fermenting.  This isn't actually writer's block, but nothing has been posted in a while.  Sooo.  how about Reruns?  This was posted in May 2017 and includes a poem from 2015 and 1992, so it stretches time a bit.  The marriage spoken of in the prose is ending, we …

  Dispossession · Have we ever Been there Where the long and Careful winding Of the river Lifts and carries Our craft or cares Or conscience to a Landing never seen Or heard of In the quiet Vespers of either Prophecies or dreams? Do we ever leap Above the current Or just even gently Press …

Rain in the Door · Gentle remembrances Wash the whited frame. I know this place, Where young lovers meet, And old friends Sit quietly outside the gate. Somewhere behind me, Perhaps on the mantle, Or the wall, A stone face keeps vigilance. Meting out each embrace, Striking in the rise and fall. · -Lona Gynt …

BTT #8 Dysphoria and Rain

On May 18, 2017December 25, 2018 By Lona GyntIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

"A Poem is a Naked Person" is the title of the sometime-acclaimed documentary film by Les Blank about musician Leon Russell.  I have not yet seen the film, but the title of it has been an evocative touchstone for me for some years.  It suggests that a poem should just sit there unadorned by ornamentation …
