Ode to Whitman 2 at the Grave of Heinrich Mann and his Wife Nelly

Joy Charly Goersch

This grass is very dark to be from the white heads of old mothers,
Darker than the colourless beards of old men,
Dark to come from under the faint red roofs of mouths.
O I perceive after all so many uttering tongues,
And i perceive they do not come from the roofs of mouths for nothing.
WALT WHITMAN. SONG OF MYSELF
