a hieroglyph of the dying of the poet friend to the foxes and the mice
seabirds wheel through stormy sky above Yaquina Head Light
day want sun and sun want bright and night want shade
honk! here are lynxes among the balustrades
surrounds me from the cheerful ways of men
in that land where all the trains stopped running at once
because the sudden flow of money had burned out all the tracks
let me not wander in a barren dream gaze backward cast
Spidery aztec mural shadow of bare late winter tree
against crumbling building thin eastern seaboard poverty light
against crumbling building thin eastern seaboard poverty light
day want sun and sun want bright and night want shade
the Spear-Danes did deeds of valour what due did it bring them
and I have leave to go down this occluded road
all full of turnings like to a maze I come to the Circle
honk! here are lynxes among the balustrades
but clouds instead and ever-during dark
where the developers wanted to put the new state capital
came worse instead and ever-during dark honk!
surrounds me from the cheerful ways of men
cut off and for the Book of Knowledge Fair
presented with a universal Mont Blanc
a wanderer has turned him from the road to wonder and
in that land where all the trains stopped running at once
because the sudden flow of money had burned out all the tracks
but toward dream horses fresh in fresh dream grass

Beautiful poem Tom, all those echoes of days (and years) gone by, those echoes into the now "ever-during dark," that man in Guangzhou waving multiple red flag warnings, "poet fried to the foxes and the mice" making his way down the road to "the Circle // honk! . . . toward dream horses fresh in fresh dream grass" . . .
Thanks, Steve. Thinking about the Hollande/Merkel love show -- odd how a few days has washed a bit of the confidence out of that smug Euro crowing over its great success in stifling its own oppressed minority population... "It was a success against terrorism..."
