Ode to W.B. Yeats


I come to you Master as in my Youth.


For you who had warned with Futility

What happens when singing schools Multiply

They gain for the Gyre what it would Not


Distorted with the Passion of Season

Blast the roots of the Roses with Wreckage

Anatomy ground down on a Pestle.

The Falconer cannot hear the Falcon


It no longer Lurches but has Arrived

Your Prophecy of the Second Coming

How Ruinous is Beauty to Ruin

Twice worse than a sonnet of Disaster


Silence bestirred the Goodness of Gladness

While Might became inured by its Madness
