Ostfront Poem by Leslie Philibert

Ostfront



Ostfront.
Das Vergissmeinnicht.
Smoke thick as oil.
The Moon hard as glass.
Farmer-faced they are blown like stars.

Bitte.
Take them home to;

A meadow vincented with August
With the warm diesel of bees,
A contract of wheat, girl´s hair.

Where an embrace blooms; noble white
Open with milk, soft down.

But for now;

Two old blind men play a game of chess.
