Anthony Weir Poems

How wonderful
are spectacles -
obstacles
so magical
...

Holy Mother:
religions
worship
themselves
...

Wisdom is awareness
of the futility of communication
and the prodigality of the
communication of futility:
...

Like most werewolves I find very few
humans that I actually like.

Like most werewolves
...

Users of glass have no transparency.

Beyond the tombstone palaces of sensual delight
the ultimate sensuality
...

Christians destroyed the Oracles
not because the Sibyls lied
but because the uncouth
New Testamenters
...

to dogs, unknown
to sharks and humming-birds -

normality is merely
...

There are now more people
living on the earth than ever died
- though man is the only creature capable of suicide.
...

My life is ebbing: let it drain -
unlike the sea which flows again,
The boiling, unbegotten sea.
...

The Sufi Malamatis
led sinful lives
...
