Literature: poetry IX


grasslands
 by Kilian 

once out of 
haven 
I washed my back
from pears and oil,
savannah's lair and groves
of spoiling paranoids,
there
the filthy senses raise with pomp,
stiff and ugly, how can those 
be the sons of 
pitied Fronde, a mess and more, 
though I come 
to see 
that cleansing sumps is 
paradoxed, but one 
and two, not much, enough, 
and just
as I've swapped
the love for innocence
I learn to see
that
heart is bold betimes
and dirt genteel
instead
