IT’S coming — the postponeless Creature, It gains the block and now It gains the door, Chooses its latch from all The other fastenings, Enters with a — “You know me, Sir?”’ Simple salute and certain Recognition, Bold — were it enemy — brief Were it friend, Dresses each house in Crépe and icicle, And carries one out of it To God.
