Notes About The Poem

glossaries

My dreams are glossaries of his charms and virtues
More than those things that Santa can bring.

The curl of his lips
their sweet flavor
and his molesting appreciations

If you feel sweet rhapsodies, are they imagined?

But just as the light of bright stars recede
and interstellar constellations wither
memories of dream-state passions fade.

Not that the spheres of their collateral radiance wilts -
in recounting those subconscious tempest smolderings
- we hold them tenderly in our favors.

Vincine Fallica December 7, 2025 at 11:38 AM . . . . I have no words. . . . Well, l actually I do. This piece, ‘Dusty Angles’, ‘I Live By’, and others I’m too lazy to search for. They remind me of how f*ck*ng broad your voice is. I’m happy when I write a piece that manages to consistently sound like me. You manage to knock it out of the ballpark regardless of style. . Can I at least take some comfort that you had to wrestle with the language a bit for this one? . <3 Anais Vionet December 7, 2025 at 1:26 PM I’m not a fan of the line: “memories of dream-state passions fade too.” But I was on a deadline =] I should have just been “dream-state passions fade.” I think of those pieces you mentioned as ‘short and dense.’ ??
