A Concentrated Effort

A Concentrated Effort

Beatrice commended me on my efforts
and my terrible steed,
cause she'd seen a man twice the likes of me.

He had walked heaven and hell-
down to icy depths
and up.

But still she thinks him
half of me
because his chest he kept shut.

-Matthew Koutzun

due to your infrequent posts, (i know, i do it to), i keep coming back and reading this poem. and each time, i love it more. this is one of my absolute favorites of yours. it's so subtle.
