The Layers

I have walked through many lives,
some of them my own,
and I am not who I was,
6 Y# h8 s+ ^6 n! ?. }though some principle of being
abides, from which I struggle
not to stray.
When I look behind,
  V2 K) R' h% w( w5 a( o8 x* o( Nas I am compelled to look
before I can gather strength
to proceed on my journey,
I see the milestones dwindling
toward the horizon
and the slow fires trailing
from the abandoned camp-sites,
( w* r# Q% q. j% Gover which scavenger angels
5 k# V* t. J( R/ H/ dwheel on heavy wings.
" F4 W% K4 I0 C8 P7 N; cOh, I have made myself a tribe
out of my true affections,
and my tribe is scattered!
4 s; w! x7 H! f7 b( G7 f& AHow shall the heart be reconciled
to its feast of losses?
. J$ ?; x9 v1 w* y0 x0 L6 o! O$ ~In a rising wind
the manic dust of my friends,

bitterly stings my face.
