Take Antaeus and the
Eastbound bearing race:
Souls rolling beween poles
Slip magnetic journals,
Fly away, cling to magic
In nanotubes or catch
On some arrangement of
Rock.
Prehistory, future,
Names given infants by
Infants --fires deep in the
Jewel.
Silence? Sound?
Better an aeolian harp
Than fool who has
The king's ear.
There are no kings here,
Only torchlights seen
Across dark fields
By beings on business
Of their own.
All illusion is alone.
Could that include this question?
I must limit myself to
What is humanly possible,
But
Will could answer this.
I really like this bit:

I can see myself quoting it on a CD I've got planned.
I like it!
ReplyDeleteAs presumably the Will of my former student Geo.'s poem, I must protest that showcase jase left out the best part:

ReplyDeleteOnly because Will makes me think of my brother and he doesn't share my interest in the aeolian harp.

I hope my reposting it to the list has your imprimatur! Thank you and Norma for this! This is what i've been talking about: collaboration!!!

Collaboration is certainly a logical next step after 40 years of marraige and I would be proud to have such an idea occur to me, but mainly, she knows how to operate the camera and I don't. Also, click onto Showcase Jase's sig. pic and see what he's got up to these past couple years. Amazing stuff!
