That Autumn was quite unusually balmy for this vicinity.

(barefoot or socksheathed), often shirtless men---
more than I had ever imagined in high... [read more] |

O lofty verse, you climb the tower,
brick by brick of gilded diction,
a Babel of syllables reaching skyward,
yet trembling beneath your own ambition.
You call yourself magnum opus—

Tried to chase the light, but the dark pulled me under
Now I’m done with the weight of my own thunder
