the golden
golden are they the believers so au fait with
their zodiac sky signed so aligned down and up
kindling imaginations such forests rage so
unbridled golden they are seemingly floating
on pipe-dreamt clouds seeking fortunes as so many
before scrabbled like wraiths pealing their iron bells
they belie the golden who live outer and down

"with up so floating many bells down" from anyone lived in a pretty how town

" iron bells" a nod to Edgar Allen Poe's poem The Bells re: tragedy and death
