The Permanence of Art--By--Suzanne Delaney--United States

The Permanence of Art

In the third act
a recital of a dream
Beauty transcribes it, punctuating it,
entering when the poet is out
for a moment
The song, a promise from a meadow
begins with bird notes.. a real masterpiece
viewed as poetry begins
and makes a parody of song

Authorship of the song is sung
as an impulse, love
and youthful ardor,

the poet discourses on the
permanence of art.
