Silentium

Back to Issue 10

by a.d. maxwell

our fragile skin for
              the wind, where
bound twigs
devour—
              devour us all. where
smoke goes, where
ash stays,

                   ours is a grave
hymn, without is your
gaze.

 

 


a.d. maxwell studies medieval English literature at Harvard University, with particular interests in poetics, negative theology, and contemporary philosophy.
