Two Poems
by Jeffrey Burghauser (March 2019)
Man Walking, Paul Gavarni, 1852-66
An Angel, A Snake
Where the pavery recedes,
Soil’s naked as a nerve.
I walk there, amid my needs,
Causing Earth herself to rave.
What to waive, and what to crave,
Being neither, being both?
Like a snake, and choke to death.
Ovidiu în exil, Ion Theodorescu-Sion, 1915
Ovid
Not even my nemesis is mine.
Having scanned the hall in proud review,
I said, “Dismissed.” But nobody withdrew.
