Old PlacesCharles deGuire Christoph
From “Reflections”
I
I want to go back to old places,
Where I can sit in revery and watch time crumble,
Think thoughts that have served and become useless;
Listen to the piping of senile gods
And the prayers of long-forgotten priests.
I want to go back to old places
Rotten with beauty, dying with beauty.
