Saturday 28: \Restoring Civilization/ 

A monster with two faces, he trumpets the evils of

His enemy while covering his own, justifying war

Through duplicitous deception, easy slander. The whip 

In his hand might have been that of a cattle-dealer,

/

A husbandman rather than a killer. His rugged nature,

Fitted for rusticity, should never have been adapted

To the conflicts of the town. He could have kept honey-

Bees, encircling a tree in a field of rich grass,

/

Attaining success through diligence, acquiring money

And friends. Maybe even yet he could escape to 

A world of glamor and be a guest at 

An embassy ball celebrating the end

/

Of war. Civilization frames itself in display;

Political organization, ending conflict, fosters glory.

Sunday 29: \Back to Youth/

An inventor experiments. He is clever. He dawdles

And dreams. Does he make a unique contribution?

Does he make a niche for himself? Or are his 

Inventions used for fighting? Two men fence with

\

Swords while a man in black stands aside watching.

A fracas between foreigners does not dignify either

But instigates a melancholy fate. Somewhere else, in 

An adjoining field, grows a bright orange flower 

\

On which two butterflies rest and fan their wings.

Some find delight in associating with those similar,

And the heavens smile on mutual affection.

Into the field comes a naked boy, a crown on his head 

/

And a scepter in his hand, dignified

And innocent, to reconstruct a secret future.

/
