The Monsters We Conquer, Poetry and Poetry Audio BlogA Poem by Pryde FoltzThe Monsters We Conquer In this edition of my poetry audio blog, I discuss the nature of reality, or at least the one we can perceive. It is another spacey, mystical journey. We start at Venus, return to Earth, to stalk the elusive white whales, and finally travel within. I read the poems the Sylph Sings, the White Whale, and From Nightmare to Lucidity. The delivery is soothing and ASMR style. For you reading purist, scroll on down and you will find the Sylph Sings for you wordy pleasure. The Sylph Sings a fiery, fickle, and shifting façade keeps would-be explorers and pilgrims at bay, their desires turned elsewhere there are easier landing sights other virtues to be claimed alluring and dusty glory where the red will flow for those who wish to be first the god of war is surprisingly easy to pillage and plunder where’s the fun of planting a flag in a sizzling mist, where no one can see your pole unfurl and flap you can’t colonize the clouds grasp the sublimated, mechanize the molten good luck remoulding tephra and ash to the whims of order and utility the goddess of love… remains aloof and untouchable yet in her isolation the sylph sings a beguiling but elusive siren a coy trickster she writhes a syncopated serpentine weaves silky ribbons and stays not to be unlaced bathed by solar tempests galvanized in the heat Venus forges an ethereal but unforgiving shield bruising and scalding the clutches of would-be voyageurs and conquistadors The Sylph Sings is published Domesticate the Heavens.
