The Poor Among Us


Who are the truly poor among us?

Those who have little to eat?
Or those with more than enough
and no will to share their bounty?

    More musical sound, please…

    Music is not music without sound.
    The swelling of the ground in spring
    Resounds between those earthen mounds
    That echo beats from threadbare wings.

    Mahler stood in his retreat, deep
    In the Alps, brooding over notes
    He heard all nature sing to sleep
    His dying children, burned to motes.

    When beauty is too cruel, the blind
    Are seared by savage light,
    And in hysteria unwind
    The rapture of the night.
