Haul up the flag, you mourners, Not half-mast but all the way; The funeral is done and disbanded; The devil's had the final say

The good poet sticks to his real loves, those within the realm of possibility. He never tries to hold hands with God or the human race.

To make the child in your own image is a capital crime, for your image is not worth repeating. The child knows this and you know it. Consequently you hate each other.

Give me the free and poor inheritance, Of our own kind, not furniture, Of education, or the prophet's pose, The general cause of words, the hero's stance, The ambitions incommensurable with flesh.

My soul is now her day, my day her night, So I lie down, and so I rise.

We too are ashes as we watch and hear The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise, Of one whose promised thoughts of other days, Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed, The service record of his youth wiped out, His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.

Oh, it is I, Incredibly skinny, stooped, and neat as pie, Ignorant as dirt, erotic as an ape, Dreamy as puberty - with dirty hair!

In the tight belly of the dead, Burrow with hungry head, And inlay maggots like a jewel.
