I have walked through many lives,

and I am not who I was,
though some principle of being

When I look behind,

before I can gather strength
2 x6 v. X5 N- S6 D0 F& Q9 Xto proceed on my journey,
I see the milestones dwindling
toward 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

and my tribe is scattered!
How shall the heart be reconciled
to its feast of losses?

* }1 o$ @0 k3 cthe manic dust of my friends,
those who fell along the way,
bitterly stings my face.
