He (Free verse) by Lenore
He,
More human than I,
His affections warmer,
More pronounced.
Unlike me-
He,
Responds to animals
In human terms,
Raising them to his own level.
Unlike me-
He,
Does not need to dissolve
Himself in the universe,
In order
To feel
He stands
On the same plane
As animals, plants and stones
And
Me.
In he,
Earthiness comes
Before
Identification with the cosmos.
Unlike me-
There,
Was an unredeemed element in him.
He,
Was eternally questioning.
Is it true?
Unlike me-
He,
With the name
Lenore
Forever
On his lips.
Unlike me-
Let go.
