To A Teacher - Leonard Cohen
Hurt once and for all into silence
A long pain ending without a song to prove it
Who could stand beside you so close to Eden
When you glinted in every eye the held-high razor,
shivering every ram and son?
And now the silent loony bin, where
The shadows live in the rafters like Day-weary bats
Until the turning mind, a radar signal
Lures them to exaggerate
Mountain-size on the white stone wall
Your tiny limp
How can I leave you in such a house?
Are there no more saints and wizards
To praise their ways with pupils
No more evil to stun with the slap
Of a wet red tongue?
Did you confuse the Messiah in a mirror
And rest because he had finally come?
Let me cry Help beside you, Teacher
I have entered under this dark roof
As fearlessly as an honoured son
Enters his father's house
