Men speaking to animals; animals
Speaking to men. Men not reading poets
Nor listening to animals. Animals not caring
what poets say
Nor men. Poets searching under the pulse
For the god in the bestial blood.
All of us searching under the pulse
For what would redeem heavy time:
Chinks in the weathered wall of the years
Through which a day glowers like a soul
Or days when the spirit behind all things
Shines through in a passion of mood and spell
As if transparent eternity
Were about to take us all.
