To the other poet

I often dream

Of the poet

Whose qualms

Were wiped by dementia

In a vastly unpublished collection

Whose neurons traveled

Without fecundating us

Buried under rubble

Ash scattered by the ubiquitous still wind

I wonder minutely of them

The poet

Without who

The music is soundless
