For his world that was always just out of sight
Where weakness was part of the ordinary landscape
And the friendly road knew his footstep, his footstep.”

Return to my mind with stranger pain:
Like letters that arrive addressed to someone
Who left the house so many years ago.”

The long shadows where undriven the dawn
Hunts light into nobility, arouse us noble.”
