The Word Ancient Was Just A Long Impatience

[jeff harrison]

nine million Sphinx were contained
in fifteen long rows of Sphinx
 

upon which Sphinx should Virginia,
the sepulchress, hang her name
 

Virginia's name never occurred
in all the words princes place
though powerful her patience
 

in all her words, princes place their
foot yet east, fair verse, to night
 

her murmuring green worth
is rich also with pearls, dainty as
a nightingale in fair glass
 

so droop, voices, and your mouths
move a blue rasp of silken blood,
mouths move in the every shape
of what's hidden beneath sands,
lowest like the sphinx hung with
V's name, crying meteor, meteor
