The Classic Pose
Bewildered, lovely and assaulted trees,
I hunted brutally my two ideas
Among your limbs, against your wish:
You (wardens, stewards, gardeners,
Whose skin weeps tears, whose long fingers
Release the veil, unveil the gaze,
And flourish naked on our lawns
Unshamed as statues lacking arms,
In classic poses of forgetfulness,
In classic poses of forgetfulness,
As though retreated in your selves)
Abandoned village idiots!
Abandoned village idiots!
What of my anguish in my two ideas?
That form and matter are synonymous,
And their efficient is their final cause?
