JOHN ASH, SEMPRE:

All my life I have been watching
empires decline, and disperse like chaff,

( or so it now occurs to me)
and have observed the process without
too much regret, since it appears

to be as unstoppable as winter cold-
the Franks crossing tne frozen Rhine
without either animosity or understanding-

or the decay of knowledge, the onset of the dark.
We are there, and hapless. Who, in all of this,
could you ask to intercede like a god or a mother?

( Empire, The Parthian Stations, 2007)
