Homage to Allen Tate, American poet.

THE INNOCENT MANSION OF A PANTHER'S HEART

O mother of silences!
In the flying dark with sleep like falling leaves
we are the eyelids of defeated caves
deaf to the pathos circling in the air
(festered loves inviolate in their absences)
whether by Baghdad or Georgetown we go
while death sustains all nature, so.
