Poem of the week: a small alba by Harry Gilonis | Poetry | The Guardian

a small alba

white the moon
white the wine

white the light
white the leaf

white the rock
white the bark

white the stone
white the dawn

*

pond
the pond
old pond
old-pond
an old pond
the old pond
ancient pond
an ancient pond
the ancient pond
ageing pond
a lonely pond
the quiet pond
frog pond

by Harry Gilonis
from Rough Breathing: Selected Poems

An elegant variation on the ‘dawn-songs’ of Provençal troubadours introduces its themes of time and loss with great delicacy

A nome di tutte le vittime – Anna Achmatova – vengodalmare

To the Muse

When, in the night, I wait for her, impatient,
Life seems to me, as hanging by a thread.
What just means liberty, or youth, or approbation,
When compared with the gentle piper’s tread?

And she came in, threw out the mantle’s edges,
Declined to me with a sincere heed.
I say to her, “Did you dictate the Pages
Of Hell to Dante?” She answers, “Yes, I did.”
Anna Achmatova

Aquarium Head by Donna Fleischer | Solitary Plover, Winter 2021, issue #33

Aquarium Head

to stand by the poem — flightjoy of being,
despite acute anxiety, I will, I just must.

Lost among open mic props, blinding lights,
wrestle with long-legged stool how did I end up with

my back to the audience? swing into an about face &
embouchure air into poem to microphone, it’s

all wrong. Ok to fumble but Just Read the poem —
you’re its only voice.

Barely begun, the host bellows “Speak into the Microphone.”
 Didn’t know I hadn’t, and so I descend, gurgle-gurgling

aquarium head. Underwater, slow motion, contorted vowels,
c o n – sontatas the minnows that dart away too quickly and

poem over. Breughel’s Icarus flailing upside down
while the rest of the world goes about its commerce.
