Re: enormous poetry geek, hi

Dude, from one geek to another: are there any better genres to geek out about? Every word is significant! ♥

And this is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. The second stanza in particular:

I want to be bruised by God.
I want to be strung up in a strong light and singled out.
I want to be stretched, like music wrung from a dropped seed.
I want to be entered and picked clean.


It reminds me of one of my favorite poets, Finnish-Swedish Edith Södergran. Assertive and exhilarating, if that makes sense.
