Four Poems on Julius Caesar I  II  III  IV

Oh, yes

You are clever

You were just

Waiting for me

To cry out

To the dust

And what’s left

Of your ashes

To call out your name

And keep you alive

Can you really be gone

If you’re not forgotten?

Can you really be dead

If we keep you alive?

Can’t wipe out

Your memory

And I shouldn’t want to

All that I’m asking

Is for clarification

Some sort of insight

As to what

You were thinking

And what you had

Hidden

And I’m starting to see

Why it is that I can

Not condemn you

Nor put you away

On a shelf

With the dusty

Volumes of your age
