In Memoriam: Four Poets

 1

Searock his tower above the sea,
Searock he built, not ivory.

Searock as well his haunted art
Who gave to plunging hawks his hearts.


2

He loved to stand upon his head
To demonstrate he was not dead.

Ah, if his poems misbehave
'Tis only to defy the grave.


3

This exquisite patrician bird
Grooming a neatly folded wing
Guarded for years the Sacred Word.

A while he sang then ceased to sing.


4

His head carved out of granite O,
His hair a wayward drift of snow,
He worshipped the great God of Flow
By holding on and letting go.
