Three Poems by Gustavo Hernandez
End It on This What did I do. Did I fly——did I powerlift——did I draw. Did I draw myself and my house and my father. Did the house have a green trim. Did I call the green trim Walden Pond. Did I play you. Did I buy you lunch by the ocean. Did I walk you around with my index finger in your mouth.

This is an essay on my poem "Ballad," Keats's notion of Negative Capability, and Lorca's Duende, with a prompt and a link to the original poem. I'm happy to share it with you.
I Know You Know: Diane Seuss On “Ballad,” Negative Capability, and the Duende
Christ was laid out in a glass coffin, like Snow White. I visited and re-visited him. He looked so much like my father on his deathbed.
