LOVE 10, by RACHEL HADAS Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I mother you you father me vice versa Subject(s): Love - Marital; Wedded Love; Marriage - Love | |||
I mother you you father me vice versa: take the exhausted person off, discard the mom and dadness of who's child, whose child means less than the warm back we each of us lie against, the body where we anchor ourself, the imprint deep as blood. Perpetual stoas, arcades, and alleys loom and dwindle, mark our mutual distance, proceeding down the avenue clutching a clue, love's puzzle not yet, not ever done. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MY WIFE by GEORGE WASHINGTON BETHUNE VARIATION ON THE WORD SLEEP by MARGARET ATWOOD IN THE MONTH OF MAY by ROBERT BLY |
