[New-Poetry] poems by others: Gregory Orr's "There"

[JforJames at aol.com]

There 
When Trakl crossed over, the angels 
accused him of the same poem 
again and again. He held up 
the face God gave him 
and showed them the deep and lovely 
line a single, recurring tear, 
sliding earthward, 
carved on a stone cheek. 
--Gregory Orr, The Caged Owl: New & Selected Poems, Copper  Canyon Press, 2002
