50th Post: Caduam Leonis

Battered, torn
     like the garments
of Egyptian peasants.
How does one man
be thus       reborn?

With the lion's
tail I write my    lines
I paint my sceneries;
        vexation brings
them from my hands.

And when the piercing
thunders roll,    as
     Grecian men astute
and strong.         Make
noises you own not.

No spit of roses, daffodils,
              or even dew-don 
grass will           rise on
your melancholy,
solitary              grave.
