Words as poetry, words as music, words as performance
Someone sent me a video of some performance poetry today and I begin to hear myself and my silence clearer in the rhythmic musical delivery of this expression of words, this music, this art... this...
Where has my poetry gone?
I could speak volumes in musical expression, dance, prose but, oh yes, my favorite...poetry. When I was very young I remember writing page upon page of fiction and fantasy, then when the emotional/expressional outburst grew too strong it had to be set in poetry to properly release it before it consumed me.
The poet Heru in his poem Lucy/Chambers says P.O.E.T. stands for:
Profound Orator of Extreme Teachings
I also offer:
Perilous Orator of Ecstasy and Thought
And don't have to wonder why I step upon the Feri path.
I have been long closed to ecstasy and I want it back.
Blessings y brazos.
