Kristian Lorenzen - Query

For Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot
Who remain dead and indifferent

Why must this care
Which is ours only
Why must it live
In such careless places?

Our caresses
Under the constant threat
Of growing distance?

Why is it only given
These ragged clothes?
These obsolete credentials?

Moving through the windswept shelters
Tenants
Under the perpetual suspicion

Of the loveless
Landlords
