Fatuus Profanus

You are dusty vinyl to my soul

I see your image
in a factory Matisse
that hangs over me

like a promised judgment,
a voice emphatic
to remind

the shaggy-bear
                          the
                                lumber-lurcher

          the trip-and-stagger
making clumsy groans
upon the earth

                              You leave me only
                              the broken voice of
                              self-reproach, having
                              learned to speak
                              obscurely but not well.
