Franz Kafka Meets Ernest Hemingway For Cocktails Poem by David Kowalczyk

Franz Kafka Meets Ernest Hemingway For Cocktails

Rating: ★4.8


Ernest laughed like
a butterfly: all air
and ice.


His smile spread
like a stain
across my soul.


We shared something
very unusual.


I am absolutely certain
of this.


What we shared
was something
less than love.
