Poem

III
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."

Stephen Crane

I'd never heard of Stephen Crane, have googled him and found lots of pomes to keep me quiet for a while. Ta.

I like that.

I'd forgotten that was Stephen Crane. Flashbacks to Ruth Raider and Keynes College 1988, wow.
