" M# \- S/ G* L3 K3 [- tI have walked through many lives,
some of them my own,
and I am not who I was,
though some principle of being
abides, from which I struggle
not to stray.
  A5 j. J# R# C" t- L; xWhen I look behind,
as I am compelled to look
before I can gather strength
to proceed on my journey,
I see the milestones dwindling
toward the horizon
# N& S" ?5 a* j3 y! w  Zand the slow fires trailing
8 n' z3 M1 t, A# A3 ^8 dfrom the abandoned camp-sites,
  a  L& m5 P7 l0 }" l4 E/ |2 `over which scavenger angels
% t& v5 K5 z0 Rwheel on heavy wings.
Oh, I have made myself a tribe
out of my true affections,
and my tribe is scattered!
How shall the heart be reconciled
to its feast of losses?
# C4 m4 M6 U' P% tIn a rising wind
the manic dust of my friends,
