Poetic Genius Poem by Frank Avon

Poetic Genius



And there he stood

words emerging
in Robert's old notebook,
its pages now reversed,
on a copper plate
in a journeyman's workshop,
the reverse of 'Ancient Order, '
out in Lambeth Marsh,
in the shadow of Boehme,
from myriad mindstreams,
in a world fearful
of another Bastille,
the flames of Revolution,
a darksome hymn for the Ages

his 'fearful symmetry'
