Bygone

[to John Keats and those who came later

quoting the rose they
stumbled through the thickets
thick with the mists of faerie
who will say how their stories
ended in the sere days in the
days without mercy

quoting the rose they
rose to stand, to walk, to fly
through thickets of waking buds,
innumerable suns and on the cusp
of learning learning

everything by heart
Again
