Analysis of The death of poetry
Like the setting of the East
At the rising of the West
Like the sinking of songs
At the soaring of beats
Like the hatch of boiled eggs
After the sitting of hens
Like the snore of bees
At the drone of flies
Or could it be...
The burying of seeds
And the sprouting of trees?
The death of letters
And the birth of actions?
