Oliver in the Gaze of Elio
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
They notice, each one, instantly, the first
Few seconds of their meeting, not just young
One in the eyes of older one. A burst
Occurs (well, two bursts) in male hearts, both strung
To highest pitch. The music must proceed
From height to height. No other key can show
A way. Two hearts both hold the human need
For heat. That Cupid guy will strike his blow
And WHAM . . . these two are on the way
To unity inside their chests, one still
In childhood’s narrowness, but hearts will say
What hearts must say. Male organs quickly fill.
The young one sees the thickness and the strength.
What neither one desires is tortured length.
