Easter 2008
(From my other site, but the poem is very appropriate.)
Easter 2008
When archaeologists of old delights
will find the ruins of our ancient kisses
and delve into the warrens of this age
and see the maze-like foundation of our lives:
reconstruct the murals
replumb the obelisk;
and roof the halls of Herculaneum,
and place the bodies at table encaustic.
Shall they then find our candled nights of love
that sparkle like the radyant rising sun?
and drape the scenes with purple porphry sheets
lest we old pagans contravene their faith?
free us from this prison,
and we shall fly away!
and going up to Galilee to see
anew the universal pulchritude!
