Poem #40 In Shirtless Fall

Image travels of the sun
In its seasoning silence
Of the dejected muse
Art Sorrow
Thy lips in vain touch verse
A star gone
A blank airy course
Hung for ages
With tears
A wet coat
With strings of mighty sighs
And red eyes
That pull one backward
Here another useless day
Will return
Behold
so soon from here another
to think,
None a poet
A king
Glowing of pages
We the epic
Born and died
In suffering
Always cheerful
A man of original geniuses
At ease in humor,
In shirtless fall
Timely appearance
The benevolent wages
Paid to brief passage
In no sympathy with suffering
True pathos of
the serious imagination

worn with December light
