Laocoön
Here at the edge of night
New buds are cruel.
Each snake is scaled in light,
And every eye's a jewel.
White plunge of thoughtful rings;
What fangs engage
Are part the sea's wings
And part the sky's rage.
Naked my casual seed
Is each a golden rose;
Whatever dead were freed,
What thought's repose
In my blood's flame,
The quiet body of a priest –
The silence is the same,
The black marching of the east.
Lascivious as snow,
Time drank our sighs
And sealed a slow
Confusion of our eyes.
And I sustain
The darkness and its head
Irised and cold as rain.
I am so strong – or dead.
– David Lear (1935)
