ULTIMATE ULTERIORS UNDIVULGED
Our revolutionary dreams clamped
on tight
By poised embossers hard
at work
Lest they should slip
into oblivion
Gain visibility and
permanence
In salient relief on the
decorative fore.
The stately curve carved
by the westward steering sun
Clean clear as a
chalcographer’s chart canvas scroll
Has with the fleet
concurrence of the sky
Plotted each move,
sketched each movement illustrious
In these ultimate ulteriors
undivulged,
The stamping ground of
the intelligentsia.
Beguiling as a climb
that culminates
Then in the
comprehensive survey broad worldview,
Idyllic the seat on the
belvedere
With all the
approbations of the starry skies
And close collecting
clouds for a crowd.

The poem's architecture is fascinating and I like the sense of being transported to worlds higher and elsewhere the poet has led me to.
