Angus Maclise - Heavenly blue pt.4&5
You told all the shadows to dance for me
but in my heart the clock stood still
for Death on New Road,
there in the platinum pendulum & reflected
in the glassed in face of Buddha
What was that dog carrying a flattened corpse
with no back legs
startling us on the way
down the hill ?
(from "Rudraksh" by Ira Cohen)
