Once In Two Lifetimes Poem by Richard George

Once In Two Lifetimes



Who will die first,
the Macaulay Culkin
of the Schools or his mother?
Eyes meet, furtive
in this pane of silence.

A heat-wave at midnight.
From the garden she widow-nurtures
the vapour-fleece
of a departed plane fans
across
Vega
Regulus
Zubenelgenubi

statues by a street-lamp's
mute sentinel

in awe they would die together
