Egypt
Cle–
1600 men to a stone. Please mention
the Nile. Croco– But the slow thing
happens in the air.
Tree slender as light.
Did Cae– ? I don't remember
that he came.
I remember the sand.
The limping slaves.
The exact condition
of their death.
The terrible thing somehow happens
in the air.
Night in that Egypt. God! how cold
the stars must have been.
Tree slender as life,
and as tall
– green then! Where are the leaves
of that time? Why can't I think
these stars are the same stars?
Where do the souls of men have their spaces?
Shall I be obedient in that silver nudity?
– Kenneth Patchen (1943)
