Little Brother Lesser Than Poem by nathan martin

Little Brother Lesser Than

Rating: 5.0


unreasonably thin embryonic brother

born again in a wash basin on the
third floor of a st joseph's hospital.

outside his window pale paper mache
cranes float by in mudpuddles.

he watches them a little,
he gathers joy a little,
he lifts his head a little.

little so little brother lesser than
grows beatifully bright eyed by the
window.

distracted momentarily his shadow
half hanging off of him forgets
to adorn its dark attire.
