San Graal
By elisa
the dead ink bled a
shriek of silence -voiced over
a void
a dark star sank
in a hypothermic night
numb as never day
and black as soot silk snow
light
laid to rest
in the aftermath
of a nuclear winter -wonderland
.
.
.
blue blood seeping
pink -sound
(rupture)
the inner ear of the oarless
vessel
found guilty and filthy -nevertheless meant to be blessed
some kind of edited beauty
conceived illegitimately
as a feminine fallback to the first
bleed
free
tax dry
then die,
San Graal.

there is such a tranquil flow to this poem. your use of aliteration is charming,enchanting. I kept getting lost in the flow/poetics, so trying to ascertain the concepts was hard. anyway, i can't justly express what i mean/feel so i'll just say- you should post more often elisa. much respect.

To put words to what reading this invoked in me. I have a certain fondness for tales of the San Graal or Sangrael even if I'm not sure I believe in them.

These words paralleled my consciousness as it sped past the Demi-Urge into the black void in search of the ultimate-mind.

In the harsh numbness of the aboslute lack of heat the cold made my awareness more profound. The revelations were astonishing but I can never be sure if they are real.

I'll stop rambling now. If poetry is in the interpretation then I hope my taking of your words does not offend.

this was chunky and slick... it was thick and funky... it was monkey and stick... it was ick and unky.

really... i don't know what it was... except that it seemed powerfully evil and thus it was exceptionally good
