"son gone" #8





Insensate, blind, extinguished quite
under ashes as evening came
tame villatic, cloudless virtue
like that Arabian Holocaust
her ashy womb
her fame survives
Bird lives

Come, come, Sam hath himself finished
lament the son, happiest yet feared
favour the breast, nothing but fair
let us lie soak't in the clotted gore

what the while is to say?
