Strange Timbres
"Strange Timbres"
revelations like a symphony
arrive in the shafts of light
at the end of the bed
forming figures
that hold out hands
to greet us, lifting us
like small leaves floating
out of empty shells like
fallen trees
into another life
things to remember
like bad stories
disappear
smoky vibrations
left behind in that
which is far gone
diminished embers
in the shadows of
strange timbres
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
“Things to Remember
when writing figures
of speech and sound
The Power of poetry
comes from the ability
to defy logic
Defy logic often
Use a metaphor
and tell us that your lover is the sky
Tell us that your lover is the sky ...
When you do that
We won't believe you
We won't believe you
Because saying so makes no sense
But we'll see a meaning ...”
