"Echoes"

Insignificance-

Astronomer royal-
Moon-gazing,
Who might have read
Keats' "When I Have Fears That I May Cease To Be":

A refugee from a trance.

Insignificance-

Yet no doubt,
For a poet probably-
As to where eternity might be:

Like an aerialist-
Who has remained
Above the clouds,
And so has not-
Descended into tragedy.
