"Better King Lear in woad, even, than King Lear in a lounge suit." --Lucas
what grows from invoking swift laws of · chaos it is shown
what flows from following iron laws of · logic it is shown
how far from that town in which i first · took a count of stars
did i go on foot picking up rocks · for cairn it is shown
how much can grasping hands rip away · from a lavish land
and its birdtalk folk in this burning · rank gulf it is shown
what can a bard who is haggardly · tacking among storms
of clockwork say that's so in lacy · hazaj it is shown
Holocaust dwarf story.
