read this bc i’m planning to watch cocteau’s orphic trilogy soon... i must say, i’m finding that i’m a maximalist when it comes to poetry... though symbolic in beautiful ways, this was too spartan for me

With my words
I’ll make rocks
weep and trees
toss down
their branches
in despair.
In its heart
each object
guards a tear
so round
and absolute
it mirrors all
the passing scene.
Those clear globes
are the souls
of things.
I want to shatter
them. I want
to make them sing.

I love this retelling of a myth in poetry. Beautiful and an inspiration both as poetry and a way to organize poems as a story. Lovely short work I enjoyed very much and highly recommend.
