Ken Smith Dark Poems
- 1. Encounter At St. Martin's
I tell a wanderer's tale, the same
I began long ago, a boy in a barn,
I am always lost in it. THe place
is always strange to me. In my pocket
... - 2. Train
After Max Ernst's 'Europe after the Rain'
In the dark
each sits alone
... - 3. The Shadow Of God
To Mohács
in the marshlands, still in the pouring rain,
August 29th, 1526, where those summoned
and hastily gathered died in thousands
... - 4. Fast Forward
one thing then another
one story then another conversation
always interrupted by another conversation
...
