Poetry list
declension
variation and
degradation hold
a beauty and a
truth welcome
and unwelcome
as nothing is
certain no rock
of ages or waters
of might all is
change holding
new life and
promise in decay
and rot the
highwayed honey
combed stump
the speckled flaking
corrosion of metals
the final caress
and broken heart
are full not empty
a cradle not a
grave
