About Me
- James Owens
- Ein Klage-Himmel, "a lament-heaven," from Rilke's "Orpheus. Eurydike. Hermes." Poetry's post-rupture, post-lapsus, post-death-of-Eurydice dream of recreating that primal world -- Eden, childhood, Orpheus's singing -- where word and thing were one.

Thanks for the insight, James, I love the fresh view. And in the haiku of rusted vines, I struggled with a way to convey the image of something left out there dead too long, for all to notice, "an example" to criminals after a hanging or crucifixion, lingering a bit too long, until the first rainstorm/windstorm turns it into mulch. I will gaze at it some more.
i wish i were there.
Dianne: You're welcome. The image is effective -- but I think you can trust it to be effective without guiding interpretation.... As always, simply one opinion, and you are free to ignore it....
Roxana: I wish you were, too :-)
