. common
themes as blame
I.
sad verbage refuse
at least to appease the ear
or sale a peace commodity of
this
package, of a saddened
critics in air
or think to protect a father
in nakedness
upon human, he feigns to die
in defence,
as everything dies, of us
with them-
covers of stories, in things
that most covers
of shame, of people, and what
comes after:
as life respects life, and
everything human
from whatever life starts and
ends
and whatever it thinks to
praise-
and here, are libraries in
symbol of its station
a dead college, that thinks
man's on top;
when all things that pass the
eye
will live, in things to
remember, here we are.
