Reports of the Dream You're Not Likely to Recover From by Jay Deshpande
This was Martin's favorite: his comments:
title -- Reover, something LOST, forgotten, not gain consciousnesses
line 4 -- what is under your chin --your body, a hint where your heat lies
line 5 -- not face up to, or give it an identity.
perhaps this is a series of nights, each dying out, or incomplete
line 23 -- "ready for awaking" ready to gain consciousness
line 24 -- "disrobed" naked, revealed
line 25 -- 'A NEW LOVER" the appearance of an inner image, a female ally, who help you
line 28 -- "timescale of your own design" -- when you are ready to make some progress.
last line -- like a conducter who can lead the way
Cradle Song by Gabriela Mistral translated by Langston Hughes (1957)
Ginny commented: loved the poem Cradle Song. The rhythm and rhyme allowed the poem to flow nicely. There is a certain prayer like quality with the image of "cradling."
