i take my anna everywhere - by irving layton
I take my Anna everywhere.
She is so beautiful she can break
a man’s heart with a look,
the proud thrust of her shoulder.
She tells me she will die young.
I tell her all beautiful women have the same
premonition. Brevity is the stamp
of beauty, sealing it in the mouths of men.
I take my Anna everywhere.
She has the unpitying gaze of a goddess.
All the men who see her
want to live their wrecked lives forever.
there’s a project called “poetry on the way” on the TTC that showcases poems written by canadians. boyfriend says this one always reminds him of me…
