An exploration of a dreaming mind.
The Other Narrative (Ode to a Psyche)
Author: Scott Stephens
A Rare Day
Unlocking the mind in Spring after a long Winter
An Unstable Moment
A moment of finding out a hard truth.
It just turned out that way
An early evening autumn reverie.
A Fitful Dream
Some sleepless ruminations
I Never Knew Her
For Anne Sexton.
Impressions of Her Landscape Through an Urban Graveyard
To a vilified outcast who ricocheted into self-destruction.
Self Portrait Through Convex Lenses
I relax, limbs spread across the bed.
Under a comforter I roast on a spit
Narcissa
She reclines into the corner of a sofa
Like a melancholy Marilyn Monroe
Orpheus Drags His Offspring To The River
An attempt to turn drudgery into poetry.
Rumination
A paleolithic poem
Self Portrait At The Edge Of Timberland and Beachhead
A warm scrap of early Spring invades the back end of winter.
Night Owls
The stars are like seeds on fire,
The milky way is thinned out
