Summary
Poems by Jan De Raeymaeker

Excerpt
--- COME THE DAWN --- As night's crisp breath settles The aroma of rot whispers Of beaded milk-flesh sunken That awful stillness at the end A stiff trapped stare fixed Cavities bloating to maggot feed Death lingering by fingertips Slipping as dawn’s life takes up Leaving a mottled corpse behind Letting sleeping dogs lie
