Hotel Wentley Poems
—for John Wieners
__________________
A poem for dead poets
“And yet, we
must remember”
—John Wieners,
“A poem for early risers,”
Hotel Wentley Poems
For the poets then—
Like Wieners, McClure,
Lamantia & Meltzer
They’re done with us—
We’re done with them
They’re gone now
They’re defused after—
Tricking they’re out of it
The young hustlers
But their poems—
Like their upturned faces
Still gazing at us
—for John Wieners
