[Bringin' Linz Down]

Unholy Sonnet 13
by Mark Jarman

Drunk on the Umbrian hills at dusk and drunk
On one pink cloud that stood beside the moon,
Drunk on the moon, a marble smile, and drunk,
Two young Americans, on one another,
Far from home and wanting this forever—
Who needed God? We had our bodies, bread,
And glasses of a raw, green, local wine,
And watched our Godless perfect darkness breed
Enormous softly burning ancient stars.
Who needed God? And why do I ask now?
Because I’m older and I think God stirs
In details that keep bringing back that time,
Details that are just as vivid now—
Our bodies, bread, a sharp Umbrian wine.

I wrote a paper on this poem during my junior year in college. At that time, I believed in God. I was shocked to go back and read the paper now, as an atheist, and see how skewed my interpretation of it was by my own beliefs.

So, how do you interpret it? Do you like the poem?

Thanks.
beer drinking lemur: Actually I am a poet, and that was a very rude thing to say, even though I didn't write this one. Thanks for telling me what I'm not, and then punctuating it with empty hugs.

Makes me want to drink and enjoy life...
I like it very much, thanks for sharing ;-}
