New York, mire,
New York, mire and death.
What angel is hidden in your cheek?
Whose perfect voice will sing the truths of wheat?
Who, the terrible dream of your stained anemones?
Not for a moment, Walt Whitman, lovely old man,
have I failed to see your beard full of butterflies,
nor your corduroy shoulders frayed by the moon,
nor your thighs pure as Apollo's,
nor your voice like a column of ash,
old man, beautiful as the mist,
you moaned like a bird
with its sex pierced by a needle.
Enemy of the satyr,
enemy of the vine,
and lover of bodies beneath rough cloth...
Lorca

erasing0180 on March 1Hey there. I Haven't been on AP in a while. Hopefully, if you stay active on here and I do - I've been on timeout for all of grad school - we'll stay in touch artistically via that. If you ever decide to drop out of AP, I hope you drop me a line with an email address or a link to your new publishing place.
