HISTORY OF POETS: HEATHCLIFF
George Bowering

When the time comes
not all the angels in heaven
will save Heathcliff
the poet

with the wild beast of the moor
in his breast
has sold his soul
to the devil
.........................muse of moorland

locked in his room at night
charging his batteries of hate
the poet
................of the destructive doom

wanders across the drifts
every morning
calling
...........Catherine Catherine

as if Catherine
were all the angels in heaven
