Variation on a theme in Polyhurt
Variation on a theme in Polyhurt
dig into the wet earth to grasp the roots of things
lie prostrate belly pushed against the loam
sit motionless under the bowl of turning stars
these things too, are passing
the desert sage and bison antiques
the bald elm and the Jerusalem thorn
the robs of Christ and the rolled dice
passing, these things too
and what did you think, young dreamer
that your heart was made of stone
not likely, not likey
it is a murder of paper tigers instead
a blessing of unicorns
