I have walked through many lives,
some of them my own,
and I am not who I was,

abides, from which I struggle
not to stray.
When I look behind,
as I am compelled to look
before I can gather strength

I see the milestones dwindling
# S4 n: i5 s* |& i1 }5 Otoward the horizon
and the slow fires trailing
from the abandoned camp-sites,
over which scavenger angels
wheel on heavy wings.
Oh, I have made myself a tribe
