monday poem #80: David Young, "Henry Vaughan" (excerpt)

[heresluck]

As of last week's post, I'm offically on a David Young kick.

"Henry Vaughan" is the relatively short five-part poem that acts as a preface to Night Thoughts, a book-length poem set on an August night in northern Ohio during the Perseid meteor shower

A rather prosaic version of Vaugh's voice. Not that this is prose -- just that as a Metaphysical, Vaugh's poetry is dense.

I like it, though. A solid ringing through of an image.
