Classic and Contemporary Poetry

AND THEN THE WATER by MILO DE ANGELIS

First Line: IN THE HARVEST TOO
In the harvest too
the body was only lent
because it wanted to become
innocent in the end

and running
it didn't renounce
an anthology of gestures

the slender body
entering the princess's room
to love the first time.
