Lean, fast <br />lonely greyhounds, <br />you are ghosts <br />of the past <br /> <br />“deserts are interesting <br />spiritual places” <br /> <br />a sad joke <br />on the margin <br />of history, <br />honor is meaningless <br /> <br />cold winds, <br />long winters, <br />infinite wheat, <br />the light of the plains <br />pushed far <br /> <br />no room for saints <br />or soldiers <br />no room for poets <br /> <br />history passed by <br />and silence remains <br /> <br />the epic is dead <br />eternity to rot<br /><br />Luis Gil de la Puente<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/3-the-epic-is-dead/
