I Am Waiting
I am waiting,
patiently,
for someone to pen
a prelude
to ’The Prelude’
I struggle in my bed,
wondering,
will there ever be a sequel
to ‘La Chanson de Roland’?
‘Metamorphoses’?
‘Beowulf’?
No!
the time of
dream and myth
has outrun us.
I can’t even sense
a song in the sod
for another
‘Leaves of Grass’.
But, like Ferlinghetti,
I will wait,
patiently,
foolishly,
for a rebirth of wonder.
