To Fernando de Rojas (draft)




To Fernando de Rojas (1492)


"Love is the New Black!" Hearing which conversed,
his nouveau brains burst out on old white flag -
Calixtus' comet, comically accursed,
plunging unladdered, unshriven as the hag
whose hissing stars were hoist on our New World.
Alone, an old man, noting no lights changed
(an Old Profession, /lachrymarum/), hurled
descendance to the dogs and the deranged.
And you and he were right, true to that Law
that makes our faiths and brains repast of snake
and it, of stars; yet knowing that your whore
still tribbeth, flagon full, we choose to take
our comforts, now as then, where we can find
a shack for drink and love, the aspiring blind.

OB

Foot-in-the-doornote: /La Celestina/, at least, is wikipediable.
Honestly, I really think there are beings in the universe who might
understand this.
