Life pinned to a specific even luminous window---Katrinka Moore's DIMINUENDO, Carla Sarett's SHE HAS VISIONS, Marc Zegan's LYON STREET
Poetry is to me the most difficult of literary forms.I love the narrative form. Poems, like a thread meander through the pages. Life is pinned to a specific even luminous window of time and place–in a poem.
Katrinka Moore’s Diminuendo (Pelekinesis), Carla Sarett’s She Has Visions (Main Street Rag), Marc Zegan’s Lyon Street (Bamboo Dart Press) could not otherwise be grouped together, though all are narrative poems. Moore’s work happens in a forest, with an unnamed protagonist who may be human or a sprite. Sarett gives voice to a love of perfection, a marriage so suited that its untimely end and the shock of grief relives the beauty. Mark Zegan’s book looks at an eternal passage of youth in a city for all time.

DIMINUENDO
Sensei (first appeared in Otoliths).
Finally the milkweeds split
and silk-winged seeds slow-
stream breeze-borne
A few come to ground burrow
doze until spring
Who can remain still
until the moment of action
Hesitation an idea
in shadow patience
of a tree a boulder
Light in its own time
falls and fills fills
and trembles at the edges
How did Sensei teach
us novices to dance
I think she said wait
SHE HAS VISIONS
Cactus Rose
You knew the rock collector in me
How I prized Black glass From volcanoes
Shimmering pyrite
And mica schist
In The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence
That lonely blossom Against all the wildness Made me cry
Every single time We sat together
Every single time
My brother’s name
Every single time
Over and over
Like the cactus rose
We saw together
When I was known
LYON STREET
North Beach
for when the keystone korner
was on vallejo
where I heard art blakey play
and denny zeitlin say
“I’m gonna do a little number
with charlie hayden on the bass”
the spaghetti factory, one december
flamenco dancers stompin’ in the back
ruffled dresses, black heels goin’ clack
against the faded floor
memory a paramour
fadin’ in the mist
at the savoy tivoli
now, only reverie
lost in the grant street bustle
a schlock shop hustle
across from the post card store
selling remembrances of evermore
giant bunnies hop away
edgerton’s bullets stop, they say
and what’s at best
