Helen Bournas-Ney
Melody
When song unleashes memory –
an unanticipated hound
sniffs and sifts and tears
through ancient ground,
grabs you, takes you,
right back
there.
Helen Bournas-Ney writes poems because it gives her so much pleasure to build them, and also because she loves the clearer and broader view she gets while constructing them and when they are finished.
