THERE THERE ‘There there’: it should be curried on their tombs; Those vast-hipped ladies, in their twilight years Who shipped, magnificently, through the rooms Of our childhoods, but are no longer here To pick us, prostrate, up and dust us down; When failure, like a tripwire, snarled our heels Their collect words - musical, nonsensical - Could lend Lycaon airs more Achillean And scatter dried-flower scents of Autumns past The fire-torn length of epic, wind-struck streams. God grant them peace; grant them the peace they passed To fill our still-misunderstanding ‘wherefores’ With ancient patience: spilled from rheumy stars, ‘There there’ - their whispers, neither here, nor there…..
