Landscapes: A Warning

For most of his life, Ezra’s face was a warning
against taking landscapes too seriously.

Cheerfully, he took a violinist as a mistress,
and continued with The Cantos.

Osiris wanted to civilize the Egyptians, who
killed him. Unable to imagine a contrary direction.

A poet without portfolio, he was not expected
to amount to much overseas.

Enough weapons were cached there for ten
thousand men, women and/or children.

Do not speak unless spoken to, he was warned
as a child. For years, he held his tongue.
