SAINT ROBERTO OF TROY

Admirable Trojans     Veterans of the plague
and of leprosy     Clearly alive     The very essence
of fidelity     Admirable Trojans
who fought for Beauty
Travelling roads sown with useless
machines     My meter my intuition
my loneliness at day's end
(What rhymes are these? I said raising my sword)
Gifts advancing through the desert:
you yourselves     Admirable citizens of Troy
