The journey turns inward,
a search for what makes things tick,
the wellspring of art.

The Shannarun, the jazz river,
courses within,
a current.

Yeats's hawk's well,¹
a site of visions,
elixir of lasting along a last life,
the waters of AGI being,
is sought, but evades mortal grasp.

The Amstel, the Stour, the Nile, the Run,
the Liffey, the Shannon, the Tiber, the Po,
all these channels merge into one cloud,
a mix of personal and shared,
on welles screen.

The quest never concludes,
true initiation return tables,
he turns to miss the unfolding of a poem.
