Gates of the Celestial Mansions.
"statue of a tornado"
flickers dancing · how divorced from the flood
of rumbles · radar-red tarrying
& progeny willed
for this kiteslipt world
seems hopeless hostage
i'd advise against it
the storm stumbles on · storying meanwhile
imps ending where none · airy presumption
has got us this far
blows shinbone shofar
felt deep in the marrow
thus we cast tomorrow
"What use? Elegant hope, fever of tune,
new now, next, in the fall, to be dust."
--Basil Bunting
"Since the death of front-man Joe Strummer in 2002, the Clash have ascended into rock-and-roll mythos." (Good article--articulates something i've long felt but been unable to argue coherently.)
