So here, mon ami, and what a smoke you blow for diversion and
dissent yet the dotless dice sing a sailor's song far, far
from the sea. And yet you hobble and blow with crippled
memories of a Byron washed upon the shore and bitch of the
sand between your toes and wonder where the shells have gone.
It is not emulation that the fur ripped from a dying beast
displays. Heroic is for Greek and Irish writers lost in
mythology. Heroes are a far baser metal and confused with the
desires of pretenders and pretensions and a dream of those
educated in dusty halls that wait for the brush of earnest
diggers who excavate and explain. And maybe they speak for
you but their words are taken by the winds and traded by
birds for so much nest twigs and reflect a light you never
knew . . .
