nominatissima is from Intimate Things, my genre-bending meditation on passion (erotic and mystical) forthcoming from the Lazuli Literary Press. In the poem, Heloise interrupts a lecture about her life with a haunting slideshow of words as she sings this song.

The book will be published soon. And, yes, Heloise is the 12th century abbess at the Paraclete, lover of Abelard.

Poems from Zen Poetry and House of Haiku.
Breathless Carp
dark cloud is passing
pelican dips and snatches
pouch of life and loss
Floral Sun
yellow disc of sun
petals, the color of snow
of unpruned glory
Wounds
the conquistador
with wounds from past victories -
fearless, yet alone
