A Hill
By Frank O’Hara
“Yes, it’s disgusting
when you lose
control, but my
wilderness is love
of a kind, no?
And the purity
of my confusion is
there, it’s poetry
in love with you
along with me,
both of us love you
in the same “My!”
Yes, but don’t be
scared; poetry
is intangible and
there’s no purity
in me
outside of love,
which you can easily wreck
and I can lose.
Clouds pass in
my notorious eye
but you, through
all, I see.”
