On the Block
1 / Lamp, Terracotta Base, U.S., ca. 1925
If when you're old and musing
Upon my whats and whys
Another one should flicker
Its last before your eyes
Don't worry, they give out, too,
Those burning filaments,
Imagination's debris
Englobed still in a sense
Briefly too hot to handle,
Too dim a souvenir,
Then, for the deft unscrewing
Unless you first, my dear,
Feel for what it shone from,
Ribbed clay each night anew
Hardened to its mission:
Light for the likes of you.
Light for the likes of you.
2 / Mantel Clock, Imitation Sèvres
Time, passing, glances at the clock
Perhaps with pity – who's to say?
Still rose and ormolu, its hands
Clasped in dismay . . .
"Stay then, thou art so fair," he smiles,
To put the pretty thing at ease.
"I will, I have," the latter sighs.
"Now what, please?
Teach me to tick without the touch
I took my life from – ah, those years!"
It's dusk; the dial brims with faint
Firefly tears.
The arbiter reviews a face
Flawless in its partial knowing:
"Child, think well of me, or try.
I must be going."
