Julia Origo poetry: Witness
J u l i a O r i g o
(1965-2005)

I have seen many eagles
in recent years
so different
like a date without desteny
s t a g e t w o
and when you give up
-perhaps that’s the deal-
like all that died before
you get old
at any age
s t a g e t h r e e
then this misunderstanding
full of promise of modern fable
of a missing link
between age and mind
between losing home
and losing time
between you
and him
(London 1998)
