The Head Needs Rather to Be Kept Cool
Situate yourself
alone for longer
than an hour apart
without speaking
The air wants words in it
The house around
adrift, surrounds
surges close
In front of the millinery
the street is spread
with late spring snow,
bristles with girls in hats
Unfold this shuttered voice
& when solitude’s good pupil
chooses unfrivolous company
endeavor to
bare it
From For Girls (& Others), Bloof 2008

Interesting concept or view on the context. I liked you word choices as imagery was brought out well to me the reader.
ReplyDeleteI rather liked the line "Unfold this shuttered voice" as it gave me a kernel to perhaps a poem of my own.
was nice to come across your site.
