He was lame

as a 3 legged dog

screamed as he came

through the fog

If you are the Light

give me a light

buddy

1965

I am too loud when you are gone

I am John the Baptist, cheated by mere water

and merciful love, wild but over-known

John of honey, of time, longing not for

music, longing, longing to be Him

I am diminished, I peddle versions of Word

that don’t survive the tablets broken stone

I am alone when you are gone

1963

You know where I have been

Why my knees are raw

I’d like to speak to you

Who will see what I saw

Some men who saw me fall

Spread the news of failure

I want to speak to them

The dogs of literature

Pass me as I proudly

Passed the others

Who kneel in secret flight

Pass us proudly Brothers
