poet & knight

                                                                    poet & knight –

                                                                    who invokes whom? –

                                                                    steel born and the one

                                                                    brought, not by words, but

                                                                    by the intention of words –

                                                                    the blind Symbol that

                                                                    rules fate like a slave,

                                                                    bound to the wheel he

                                                                    creates, the wheel he

                                                                    turns: the mind – the

                                                                    inchoate blind receiver

                                                                    belies its asseverating

                                                                    shadow as the

                                                                    fractionating

                                                                    world
