From _Reflections_

1
 Through the narrow lanes Behind the mingled fringes Of memory opaque, Head eager
to unburden The cargoes it carries for years. The green blades Unweight the frigid
dew From their wet shoulders As the Sun hugs them Protracting its bright arms. 2
You are destined to be What you were not In your thoughts of early days Or not to
be What you are Always lying dormant Cold in the veins of frozen spine, A division
distressing. But this is how life goes on To be rafted through The unwelcoming rapids.
