Ostfront

A Poem by Leslie Philibert
"

Ostfront

"
Ostfront.
Das Vergissmeinnicht.
Smoke thick as oil.
The Moon hard as glass.
Farmer-faced they are blown like stars.

Bitte.
Take them home to;

A meadow vincented with August
With the warm diesel of bees,
A contract of wheat, girl`s hair.

An embrace blooms,noble white,
Open with milk, soft down.

But for now;

Two blind men play a game of chess.

I really like this. Well written and interesting and a tad bit mysterious.
Fantastic descriptions. A unique poem.

what a paradox...and delightful...all that description of the setting...what is all around them...what could be, what might come...but for now--
"Two blind men play a game of chess"

whose move is it?
