Thank you so much..: Thank you so much for your kind words. Let me return the compliment. I just read Genitstalgia.
Wow! You have a talent for writing erotica! Really well done!
I have been reading poetry: I have been reading poetry for fifty years as of this past April, and I have never seen a poem on that particular subject. And the counter indicates over three thousand six hundred readings of this poem---that speaks far more about it than my poor words can.
In nine short lines, you: In nine short lines, you create a sense of foreboding horror, which us centered around the fifth and sixth lines. There, the poem defines the place as "an eerie loveland," and describes the "holy people" who "tear earth's womb." Within the context of the poem, those otherwise ordinary phrases become wildly charged with an implicit horror which resonates from them through the entire poem. Even in a second reading, the horror does not diminish.
Thank you for reading with: Thank you for reading with such a luminous and precise eye. You got it! I'm always thrilled to receive the impressions of such a gifted and insightful wordcrafter.
.: the reading/listening/viewing experience is always so highly subjective...
From person to person.....or even from the state of mind when you read or re-read....
A “faces come out in the rain” type of situation...
in my mind, when i sing this, and even while I penned it, It was with in a “crooner” vocal style.
Long sustains and carrying the notes add to that affect, i suppose...
but I hope it moved you in some way.
thanks for the read
