and I am not who I was,

abides, from which I struggle
not to stray.

as I am compelled to look

I see the milestones dwindling
toward the horizon
and the slow fires trailing
from the abandoned camp-sites,
over which scavenger angels

Oh, I have made myself a tribe

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

the manic dust of my friends,
those who fell along the way,
