“The dead have been awakenedshall I sleep?
The worlds at war with tyrantsshall I crouch?
The harvests ripeand shall I pause to reap?

Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear,
Its echo in my heart.”

on the bitter stem of your nectared
rose, you know
the dreamy stench of death and fling
magenta shawls delicately
about your brown shoulders laughing.”
