Chad Shreve - Bannister: Ignition

Read on through me
toward Donne and the
Metaphysics,
Read on through vague
and specific,
granite text and
raucous time.
Find in me all you would
of symptom and sorrow,
fear and false delivery-
poplar, pulp and pine.

Soon, you'll find shores of me
on every beach that soothes You,
and in the chilly tides of lack
reach fluid youth and warm supply.
