Poem: Lessons of History

 Lessons of History


shelves of books

lean beggarly

to prop each others’ isolation.

 

genius festers

under slabs of dust,

wise yet antiquated

 

in an old man’s home.

 

a moth,

color of the last leaf

of a miniature autumn,

 

settles,

meek in its finitude,

on his spine.
