• (Lament for Lionel)

Surely he will wear

this habit down.

Movement in the earth

keeps him crazed

while private voices

sing the praise of

his violent success.

Like marooned ghosts

they learn to seek out

a cold heart. His steel

is fading. His cause is

the severed head

of an infinite snake.

No – you don’t see it

his way, in missions

and hourglasses

shaking faith

to its very foundation.

In fire, the days retreat.

In him, oceans churn.

• (Following death)

( every man has his limits )
