Ignis

 
how soft the clouds that touch my feet as I search for Ignis Ignis in the rotting leaves how cold the soil against the walls of my lungs as I dig for Ignis Ignis and the Sun how tight the girdle around my waist of roots and earthworm ribbons as I dig for Ignis Ignis displaced how heavy the dirt that clings and crushes skeletal ribs, fingers clawing clumps and crusts as I dig for Ignis Ignis in the rust how fine the bone meal that dissolves in droplets of sweat in aquifer as I seep to Ignis Ignis and breathing 21.07.2012

    The first time that I read this poem, I found it to be different from your other poems, yet you maintained your distinct inner poetic voice, throughout. A very elemental poem -- for me, the ending softened-up the ?darker?, almost forlorn aspects in some of the lines. And still, even now, there is a periphery of mystery within the lines, which is always a plus when it comes to good poetry.

    Ignis as in fire...(I guess)... fire consuming everything....devouring life...or at least destroying its passion. You're activating my few neurons! LOL! This voice is buried (alive?)searching for fire (passion?) The body parts puzzle me...I'll be back.

    A wistful feeling of empty or lonely or some piece of life missing.
