  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
