The Owl in the Sarcophagus

"How do you know what you think until you see what you say?" - W. H. Auden

“The final belief is to believe in a fiction, which you know to be a fiction, there being nothing else. The exquisite truth is to know that it is a fiction and that you believe in it willingly.”

The Planet on the Table


Ariel was glad he had written his poems
they were of a remembered time
or of something seen he liked

Other makings of the sun
were waste and welter
and the ripe shrub writhed

his self and the sun were one
and his poems, although makins of his self
were no less makings of the sun

it was not important that they be remembered
what mattered was that they should bear
some liniment or character

Their affluence, if only half-percieved
in the poverty of their writing
of the planet of which they were part

Tea at the Palaz of Hoon

Tattoo
