Take a man like this one. Poem by Bart Meuleman

Take a man like this one.



take a man like this one.
always prepared, for example, to help.
well regulated by his
urges.
get him ready for a life with us,
share in his happiness.
replenish him with your temporary water, make him growl
softly, too.
when the moon bangs: a starting shot.
when the core smothers: the finishing line.
in between, nothing but darkening love.

Translation: Willem Groenewegen
