 glimpses from an ivory tower 2008-07-20 . chapter 1not pathetic in the slightest. honestly, I think this is one of your best poems, certainly better than "entranced" :P
there are too many lines I like here: "when empty words misspell themselves" "regurgitate cacophonic fears" and "off key crescendoes" are the best.
but the last line ends it perfectly. it is just so earnest, it reminds me of how I felt when I wrote the "I grow crooked now" stanza in "june". it is a universal feeling, trust me, and you summed it up pretty amazingly.
overall, I love the music metaphors, they fit you and your passion for what and who you love, and your single-mindedness.
truly a work of art. |
