VENICE, 1967
In November they had lunch at the Pensione Cici,
Pound then eighty two, Ginsberg forty one,
having come all that way,
each to his impasse.
Each to his impasse,
although a music for the brink of the world
swirled around the pilings,
drifted across the rubble of San Giacomo,
through the listing birches,
evoking voices, voices,
faces, faces.
Although the Muezzin had just been singing in Ladakh
and the dogs were barking across the river.
Although on Okefenokee a kingfisher dove,
splashed, flew up with a rattling cry.
