revised poem

  (untitled prose poem)

Now things daily fail, wit droops downward and eloquence evaporates before the dark—where oh where is our sweet poet of rhythm with philosophy that satisfies the intellect? A mind adorning logic with imagery picturesque; of metaphor to luminous effect—someone disposed to clothe ideas in splendid dress, saving grace towards a liberation’s truth—an ear fine for its meter, imaginative and soothing in affect—a vision delivered with pathos in the manner of artists speaking after prophets; someone for when it’s impossible to rewrite history we already know, to compose light we still must learn.
