The Gradual Prospering of Verse

I’ve lost something full
Pure and righteous
Torn away
In a predawn
Frenzy of words

Bare and distraught
I raved through the day
Doomed to recall
Every morsel
Of former glory

To relive
The full weight within
The gradual prospering
Of new-found joy

Would stand firm
At the proudest peak
My tyrant wish
My most starved for
And elusive of dreams
