The Heat by the River Towards Home |
 |
|
South,
by the side of the road that is America;
an old soldier sits beside a tidal river,
and calls it home
as it passes him by,
... going to the Sea.
Dark clouds dance with bright blue
and sunshine.
I could fish perhaps.
But I choose this day to feel the breeze
that talks of home.
To see the Turtle and the Hawk.
To be silent!
To be at home. |
