Mythologies of Self

Echoes of Dante "in the dark wood" great piece!

Yes, Dante *

They say a lusty scream can help. I launched one this morning when I learned about Michigan. It did help. *

Thank you, Lillian.
Thank you, John.
Thank you, Matt.

*., Gary. More of your fine work here. There's a certain
feeling for me in this poem. I get a sense hat you are holding back. Maybe even feeling furious. I would have not been surprised if, instead of "finger the keyboard", I read instead finger the "trigger".

iPad "hat" not "that" Sorry

Thank you, David. The fury comes and goes. Today, a certain calm.

Definitely Plathian.*

Thank you, Amanda.

We lie sleepless at night, enraged,
and finger the keyboard
with a violated passion.--"*"

The opening line brings the Inferno to mind. Especially like the closing image.

violated passion...*

Thank you, Kyle.
Thank you, Sam.
Thank you, Gary.

I feel it. *

Thank you, Neil

"Abraded and tender"--that's the phrase that I take away from this poem.

Good poem, Gary.

"The Savage God" is an excellent book.

Thank you, Bill.

I love this so much, Gary.

Thank you, Frankie.

"our nerves feel each day as an outrage" blew my skirt UP!
