And Kept Himself Busy
Listening To Songs
That Lived Like Bats
In the Chambers of His Ears
Mating and Dying In Degrees of Sound
More Difficult To Tabulate Than Darkness Is
But Nevertheless He Monitored
The Tweaking of Their Silk
And Reaching Up Would Grasp
Their Heads As Though To Hapless
Handles of Open and Shut Umbrellas
Extinguishing Their Notes One By One
Unaware Their Population Strictly Adhered
To the Rules of Reincarnation
Designed To Endlessly Repeat
A Fluency of Satanic Or Clairvoyant Sounds
To Twirl Incessantly In His Windblown Skirts
After the Manner
Of Precessional Dancing
And It Never Occurred
To the Worlds He Was Passing
Worlds Where He Could Be Welcomed
Examined and Destroyed
To Send Him Invitations
Or Declare Themselves Willing
To Surrender Their Consciousness
To the Apertures of His Gaze
Kept So Tightly Shut By Forgotten Loves
That Kept Reappearing Beneath the Soles
Of His Feet Like Stones For Stepping;
He Stepped Forward and Backward
Like the Progress of a Concerto
His Sheets Billowing Sadly
In Time To the Pathos
Of Seeming To Be Both a God and a Man
