Eleventh Brother Poem by Jean Valentine

Eleventh Brother

Rating: 4.5


one arm still a swan's wing
The worst had happened before:
love—before I knew it was mine—
turned into a wild swan
and flew across the rough water
Outsider seedword until I die
I will be open to you as
an egg speechless red

This lady wants us to read slowly, read deeply, and she loves to give us images to help us do so- -they help me emotionally to close in on her but to define this poem in words is still beyond my reach- - it turned into a wild swan and flew across the rough water
