\"icon The Satyr’s Heart<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now I rest my head on the satyr’s carved chest,
\nThe hollow where the heart would have been, if sandstone
\nHad a heart, if a headless goat man could have a heart.
\nHis neck rises to a dull point, points upward
\nTo something long gone, elusive, and at his feet
\nThe small flowers swarm, earnest and sweet, a clamor
\nOf white, a clamor of blue, and black the sweating soil
\nThey breed in…. If I sit without moving, how quickly
\nThings change, birds turning tricks in the trees,
\nColorless birds and those with color, the wind fingering
\nThe twigs, and the furred creatures doing whatever
\nFurred creatures do. So, and so. There is the smell of fruit
\nAnd the smell of wet coins. There is the sound of a bird
\nCrying, and the sound of water that does not move….
\nIf I pick the dead iris? If I wave it above me
\nLike a flag, a blazoned flag? My fanfare? Little fare
\nWith which I buy my way, making things brave?
\nNo, that is not it. Uncovering what is brave. The way
\nNow I bend over and with my foot turn up a stone,
\nAnd there they are: the armies of pale creatures who
\nWithout cease or doubt sew the sweet sad earth.<\/p>\n
