Thinking of Dead Poets
imagery as if brand new
Li Po staggering forward
moon for his candle
stars watching him stumble
where the muse takes him
where she took them all
towards a moon shining in a puddle
or a river where he drowned
rushing to embrace her
his maddening muse
in love again waking
when first birds sing
feeling young again supple
after years of sloth
looking for clarity
in fading light
