inside of myself is sunflower prayer dancer unswept pasture awakens changes drinks like children of scientific spring elixirs electrodes & intellectual freedom wild words & slow confusion runs through streets hides among women & birds interludes for dead

Ce poème, selon mon interprétation, semble être imprégné d’un double sens de son signifiant, le même qui l’inscrit dans l’eternel mouvement pendulaire de l’être humain. En tout cas, cela me semblait très interessant.

Merci, J. I am not certain I understand what you mean when you say: “imprégné d’un double sens de son signifiant.” But, as this is an impressive sounding phrase, I am inclined to say thank you. 🙂 Now, may I tell you the story of this poem? Thanks. I think you know I have been wanting to do something different with my poetry for awhile now. Well, I think I may have had some insight into the next phase as I was writing this. You see, the first line, as it came to my mind, was “on the inside of myself is a sunflower.” I wrote it down and thought immediately, “Oh, no! There are way too many words here.” So I took out some articles and prepositions. Et voilà. It was as it should be. I then thought I should write the whole poem in this pared down style. There is so much possibility for making new meanings when the unnecessary words are taken out and the necessary ones rearranged. I think I want to continue trying this technique.

C’est précisément ce à quoi je voulais faire référence avec “l’imprégnation du double sens de son signifiant”, mais la phrase était certainement très déroutante. Désolé. C’est vraiment vous, la créatrice elle-même, qui l’exprimez clairement: décapage le plus de phrases possible pour faire quelque chose de différent avec votre poésie. Et oui, il existe de nombreuses possibilités de créer de nouvelles significations lorsque des mots inutiles sont supprimés et que les mots nécessaires sont réorganisés. Vous l’avez fait magistralement.

Merci. De plus, quelque chose m’est arrivé ce matin. Je me suis réveillé après un long sommeil et j’ai essayé de répondre à un commentaire sur le blog de mon ami. J’étais trop fatigué pour lui répondre hier soir, mais ce matin, quand je me suis réveillé, ses commentaires avaient disparu. Thank you again for the kind words about my poem.

Merci à vous, L. Eh bien, concernant les derniers commentaires je dois vous dire que je les supprime volontairement. Il était plus sympathique de laisser à la postérité l’image d’une belle femme mangeant ma glace. Mais si tu veux, je peux les sauver et je les publie à nouveau. 😉

I love your combination of lyrical and playful. The sunflower is a fascinating subject of contrasts, peasant flower yet power symbol; humble but standing tall; sunny yellow, but th massed brown seeds reminding us of the annual death cycle.
