That does not live and nevermore can die?


FRAGMENT

by Robert Nelson

With the red bewitchment of the moon canines collect

And feast and howl o'er carrion and orts and bones

In green and putrid grots that echo shrill sea-moans;

And huge and hoary plantigrades on crags most high,

Hearing the maddened carnal ravings of the hounds,

Huddle together on the topmost frozen mounds
