Coat-Trailing Poem by Anthony Weir
Coat-Trailing
Jean Genet said:
'the author of a beautiful poem
is always dead'.
But beautiful poems
are also always dead
whereas a poet once lived
in his head.
Great poetry now is what
people can't bear to read.
Great poets are dead and dutiful.
The dead are always beautiful.
