Way to express the fourth chakra!
voice, audience,
listening, speech, expression,
self-realization, humility,
vibration, telepathy, epiphany,
channeling, in and out of balance.
Ashbery a danger—
he’d eat me alive with his Rimbaud,
which I refuse to read.
But how am I hearing Sappho’s voice?
Attribution questioned even—How
can it NOT be Sappho?—
This poem IS Sappho:
de duke men a selena
kai pleiades me sayde
nuktes para d’rxet w’ra
e’gw de mona kate d’w
Moon and stars going down,
night, alone.
Cajun song—
Sappho’s ancient Greek sounding like French
(have I ever heard?).
Pearl Pirie hearing it from my typing fingers.
Not ashamed,
my voice can't deliver it.
