University of York:
Have decided, with regret,
That they are unable to offer
You a place.
Dichotomies of One
I have known the closest moments of
Platony and the intimatest instants of
Sexuality, but never together, not as love;
The irreconcilable antiphrasis of oneness.
For they careen both in different directions;
A collection of forces that overpower and
Conflict when pushed together, like repelling
Magnets. One eats the other, but remain two.
As best friend or most impassioned lover,
In that bedridden sense, I have been ere
To each, but as both to one, united: is that
Possibility not a dichotomy to teach:
A dichotomy preached
A dichotomy breached.
Ode to Keats
If only an audience could realise
The earnestness of a poet’s eyes;
The words on his page meaning
What they say, rather than being,
Merely, a beautiful display.
If only someone would love us
For what’s behind the conjunctivitis,
Keats and I would be our words-worth
In life, above this surplus, of imagery
And pathos.
