To Never Again Say Anything Clever Poem by L.B. Temuco

To Never Again Say Anything Clever



The water tastes sweet
they lean into each other anyway
like small children keeping secrets
the old man makes not a sound as he passes
his eyes beaten into dull clouds
into yellow insolubilities
his staff makes hardly a sound on the road
the thin trees set themselves
against the fading light
beneath which he founders
sinking silently into the impulse
to never again say anything clever
