They do not mistake the lover for their own pleasure, they are like great runners: they know they are alone with the road surface, the cold, the wind, the fit of their shoes, their over-all cardio- vascular health--just factors, like the partner in the bed, and not the truth, which is the single body alone in the universe against its own best time. bernienondisclosed_email@example.com (Bernie01)Mon, 24 Mar 2014 05:26:31 +0000 Re: Ice Sculpturehttps://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p16773,from=rss#post16773https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p16773,from=rss#post16773Hi libra, I am winter weary, so it’s nice to read a positive take on the season. Setting the poem at night adds to the mystery and wonder of the scene. I particularly like the ending and the image of N as a camera. I also like the way the poem highlights and contrasts the industry of the snow workers with the grace of the ice dancers. The only line that doesn't work for me is “gliding night’s bounty of majesty.” Or more precisely, the phrase “bounty of majesty.” I can’t really visualize that or even feel it. I think I understand intellectually what you are going after: a sense of awe a nature’s snowy abundance and beauty. Hmm, well, that is a shift in my perspective, so maybe the line does work after all. Thanks for posting, libra. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Katlin)Wed, 19 Feb 2014 09:36:39 +0000 Ice Sculpturehttps://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p16766,from=rss#post16766https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p16766,from=rss#post16766Ice Sculpture Ice dancer, alone in the dark after lights out, entranced in your music, gliding night’s bounty of majesty. Snow shovelers, working magic day travelers never imagine, elves gracefully change dangerous nature, natural challenges to rational managers, to daily commuters, to market computers, to those that matter. Sculpture, sensual rapture, beautiful dancers brief capture in a camera only I can be, a target, a heart of deepening beat, alone in the dark.
