The Layers

I have walked through many lives,

and I am not who I was,
though some principle of being
abides, from which I struggle
not to stray.
When I look behind,

to proceed on my journey,

from the abandoned camp-sites,
over which scavenger angels

and my tribe is scattered!

to its feast of losses?
In a rising wind

bitterly stings my face.
Yet I turn, I turn,
exulting somewhat,
with my will intact to go
whereever I need to go,
and every stone on the road
precious to me.
