I Have Poured My Wine
I have poured my wine
Over Time an’ Space.
Everyone is drunk;
Everything is drunk;
Everyone totters;
Everything totters:
Mozart’s tunes echo
Through marble arches
Of the Taj Mahal!
Lo, Catullus strikes
Strings of Dun’booro,
Which sway to Bach’s grand,
Rare musical notes!
With Kalidasa’s
Solemn brush, Van Gogh

the bell chimes:
hands shiver
but carry on digging!the grave has been dug
and the mourners have
gathered around it.
the earth
opens its mouth
to gulp its morsel:
the bell chimes:
no one hears,
save the gravedigger!with the brush of its
dark, cracked lips,

On Cloud of Drifting Time
Again a Socrates
Holds a cup brimful of
New, raw, lethal hemlock!
Everything’s mute an’ still!
Everyone’s spineless, dazed.
And lo, the cup trembles,
As the venom trembles!Athens, 2008 © M. Syre

Men in Gods
Old or young,
Every face—
An idol!
And the world
Temple—vast,
Gigantic!
How puzzling
It’s to find
Men in gods!
