Beauty at Last is Beauty Forever

that is to say it grows abundantly

never has reason or season for war

averts its eyes in hours of Terror

does not countenance betrayal or Fear

but deals duplicitous with Death Vengeance

Outwits it then Goofs Off, Takes a Shower

The water falls plentiful in repose

It hastens to waken its guide Spirit

Bring me my Verses, October is here

that once and again having passed returns

formed in its gestation novitiate

looking back at gestation monthss ash

what it cannot redeem merely Vanished
