Verbatim

David Kuhn

Welcome back to Verbatim, our stage for amateur and professional writers. Today we hear from Miami native Howard Camner, a former Poet Laureate nominee often recognized as South Florida’s most widely published poet.

Guinevere

Guinevere
Beyond reach
How can I tell you?
Let me lie on your doorstep
Where to sleep dreamless is peace
Where to live dreamless is death
Let me lie here
Guinevere

Guinevere
Under cloak of night
How can I hold you?
Let me love you from here
Where your eyes cannot hurt me
Where I struggle not to dream of you
Let me die here
Guinevere
