I have walked through many lives,
some of them my own,
and I am not who I was,
though some principle of being

not to stray.
When I look behind,
as I am compelled to look
before I can gather strength

I see the milestones dwindling
toward the horizon
and the slow fires trailing

wheel on heavy wings.
