NOCTURNE
The big, cold moon, and the red glow-lights by the lines,
The panting steam, and the luggage cars
Wending their fugue-like course through a wood of pines,
And around the immutable stars....
The silver net
About This Book
A sequence of lyrical meditations that shifts between dreamlike visions, confessional solitude, and mythic or biblical reverie. Recurring images of sea and shipwreck, roses and gardens, and masked or legendary figures are used to probe longing, shame, desire, and the hope for spiritual renewal. Poems alternate between dramatic monologue, fable-like sketches, and brief nocturnes, exploring the tensions between illusion and revelation, life and death, and love as both ensnaring and ennobling, producing a compact, contemplative cycle of symbolist-inflected verse.
