ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG, OR A POUND OF FLESH

Think of this:

Ezra Pound was at the height

of his artistic powers

when Paul Antschel

was born in Bukovina,

& still spreading his fascism

from the city of canals

when they raised the body

of Paul Celan from the Seine.

The cage at Pisa had been

the right place

for him.
