Infirmary

INFIRMARY

in this world of intricate

live the insects delicate

creepers crawling, speakers drawling

print him off a duplicate

and he'll stick it on a pole

stuff it deep inside the hole

gaping vaster, scraping faster

eating into his control

curves and lights and soft delights

still, this boy, he claims the right

photos faking at a world he thinks
he chews and tastes and bites

in a queer morass of memory

he wanders ever aimlessly

skin a'prickling, hearts a'pickling

locked in his infirmary

he's quaintly unaware

of the way we tear our hair

grasping nothing, raspy blushing

he goes on without a care

Aengus & Caer

AENGUS & CAER

He dreamt a swan upon the air,

Sweet chandelier of Heaven’s loft,

Into the crystal twilit blue

She purest white and feathery soft.

Though dark be long and day be short

In light-limned love he sought afar;

The clarion voice she left behind

In ripples touched the deepest star.

His hope he met one dusky eve

Near waters where she’d formed her bed.

Her eyes aflame with tortured light,

The beauty spoke, and this she said:

“Oh wanderer you cannot know

Your lovelorn journey is in vain,

For true as your intentions be

A curse was once upon me lain.

Eternally a bird I be;

No mortal ‘gainst it can prevail.

Abandon now your lost pursuit,

Relinquish this futile travail.”

But he, bright God, for so he was,

Recalled the fated reverie

That once had been his longing’s cause—

Resolved to knit their destinies.

As she of snowy plume took flight

A glittering veil consumed the one

Who stood upon the dewy bank.

Then burst a beacon, bright as sun.

From it arose an argent being

Resplendent in the dying day,

Who tore into the vault above,

Eclipsed the moon along its way.

No glance gave he the globe below;

Ambition’s end the gods divine.

Propelled by nothing less than love

Seraphic wings fiercely entwined.

Transcending the celestial spheres

The two-now-one enraptured all

Who for three days and for three nights

Were graced with their supernal call.
