Questions and Answers! When yesterday’s smoke lies frozen in the gutters beneath a ragged evening mist, I walk where stillness saturates the night with eternal ‘questions’... [like “why am I?” or “what could really ‘matter’?”] measuring ‘human time’ between ever-redundant disasters, in an infinite universe of warring constellations... [perhaps devoid of all ‘heart’ and ‘reason’?] until the shadows drain again from field and forest, as a dazzling sunburst shakes the dawn to consciousness stirring wind-fountain clouds to dance, over singing streams and golden rivers dropping through these scattered hills forever... to the timeless sea; and these are Nature’s lucent ‘answers’... to my night-born darkest doubts! |

There it is again, Bruce, that Bach Cello Suite # 1 in G Major. Re-reading and re-reading this poem, its format feels familiar. The movements in your poem and those of this musical work appear to be in tandem, including that pause and twist (contraposto) in the center, “until the shadows drain again from field and forest, as a dazzling sunburst” then the rise to the end. Beautiful!! |
