<div class="prose poem">
<p>O patient ones, Ones of Old—
The light has fled from twain eyes.
Thou perfect ones, the bold—
Ye that set thy word on highs.</p>
<p>Let not part from part began veering,
or to byword be our fate resigned.
Blistering winds we weather blind, steering—
the dotted line where death hath signed.</p>
<p>Hallowed halls beneath cinders lie,
and a mote of light is hence removed.
Witness as Gaia’s face is set awry,
for by sword the spec is reproved.</p>
<p>The unclean damn the clean for it taints,
whereby I implore the patience of the saints.</p>
