Poem: Actor Afield

 

Actor Afield

 

dazed

under a mist-tripped

totter of stars,

 

each footstep a void

which a breath chases,

paradise lost!

 

what light yonder?  why

a world so shabby

it daunts proof?

 

can god not fairly

scatter rain?

or yoricks?

 

it’s trafficky out,

fuddles of drizzle.

 

sips of lunar curves

must give us pause 


from dewy gropes.

 

what Virgil to guide me

through these woods?

what nymph?

 

some flinching exeunt

of Cupid’s comet?

a sorcery of cowslip?

Midsummer Night's Dream themes


Long, brutal grading/marking of papers ended on xmas day, about half way through.  Still in shock and daze from immersion in a tunnel of student papers.
