La lingvo de poezio.

"Paul Revere, Heartburn, Imbolc"

Go back to the unquiet grave we long

to run that hazard.

The barest sliver of a moon at dawn.
The thing i said was not the thing i said.

had kept mostly beautiful. Another caliber
of dream's vast upkeep

rises from the cold unquiet grave
& will not be content to break our sleep.
