"to find henceforth"


from the ABC set ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙this poem book that he gave

the camp is closed,
though i still there,
a truth now lost to him
release the threads of uniform
to spool and find again.

my hawk flies high
as boots walk low
a mind to un-quagmire,
there is no helping such a man
he must that journey tire.

tragedy will mould the skin
`tis as the cycle goes,
inner instinct will push forth
so put the mind away,
and find a choice of north.
