Brian, well said. Interestingly enough, I'm reading the third book in Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea Triology, and she has many thought provoking passages about light and darkness. Maybe I need to alter my poem--sift for the good pieces of my soul is what I intended. Something for me to fix. :o) ~Kay
The title is effectively utilized.
ReplyDeleteI like the smoking imagery used in the poem.

Thank you, Chen-ou. I've never breathed more than second-hand smoke, but the imagery fit my mood perfectly! Always, Kay
ReplyDeleteWell, I smoked for 15 years and you didn't miss a thing, believe me.
ReplyDelete"[C]ompelled to dip my dread"...You are so good at introducing these little surprises in reading, Kay.
Friend to friend: some darknesses are best left to the dregs -- forever. Remember Oedipus!
