On almost the incendiary eve
Of several near deaths,

When one at the great least of your best loved
And always known must leave

Lions and fires of his flying breath,

Of your immortal friends

Who'd raise the organs of the counted dust
To shoot and sing your praise,

One who called deepest down shall hold his peace

That cannot sink or cease

Endlessly to his wound

In many married London's estranging grief.

On almost the incendiary eve
When at your lips and keys,

Locking, unlocking, the murdered strangers weave,

One who is most unknown,

Your polestar neighbour, sun of another street,
Will dive up to his tears.

He'll bathe his raining blood in the male sea

Who strode for your own dead

And wind his globe out of your water thread
And load the throats of shells

with every cry since light
Flashed first across his thunderclapping eyes.

On almost the incendiary eve
Of deaths and entrances,

When near and strange wounded on London's waves

Have sought your single grave,

One enemy, of many, who knows well
Your heart is luminous

In the watched dark, quivering through locks and caves,
Will pull the thunderbolts

To shut the sun, plunge, mount your darkened keys
And sear just riders back,

Until that one loved least
Looms the last Samson of your zodiac.

Blah, blah, blah. It's the weekend.
Having brunch with the parents in the morning.
Need to express how sad I am over Irving Penn's death.
He was a master and a true inspiration in the fashion and photo world.
