#phrasing
Are we really done
with phrasing? I mean, I just
wish someone told me

Iceberg blue
Glistenshore
Torn from Hemingway
Slow, with pages of fluttering interference
Brightening, multiplying
Often into dream

When you ask:
Who am I looking for
in a companion?
Most people say
they want love.
Or care.
Or comfort.
I want someone
who thinks me clever.
Who gets my jokes.
Who feels the romantic word
like a caress,
phrasing, like a gentle kiss.
Who deems me special
like I've always wanted to be.
Because I need me to see
that I love me,
just not unconditionally.

“include using long, unpredictable lines, rhythmic displacement, and technical elements like vibrato or legato. It focuses on creating a "musical story" by balancing tension and release, often with 2-12 note, rhythmically varied, and frequently repeated ideas that evolve into longer, more intricate solos”
and why my poetry is so influenced,
listening to soft vibrato
that softens via disordered phrasing,
lines extended distended then
abrupt,
cutoff paused, the bridge returns to reconnect us,
Writer, Reader
Readier, Receiver,
we are ok!
though one of us has fallen behind,
but the rhythm returns
and we are connected,
rejoined,
conjoined,
and the tension is
released
together, we become an intricate melodic phrasing…
