HE 1 Poem by Max Temmerman

HE 1

Rating: 4.0


He did not breathe,
his skin did that.

I entangled myself
with his laurel leaf,
heathenism.

He smelled of dried grass.
Old Testament gold
below a late summer sun.

What I thought to that? Nothing.
Six college years taught me
to be quietly self-educated.

To boil like milk in a skillet.
To yearn.
