C H A P T E R FOURTEEN

Turn this dark maddening charge

All you I once knew snagged like moths

In the still web of younger days

Rise up from the fresh white foam

In the face of my seaward plunge

Howl against my wild run and these wild

Blazing eyes - but I hear the call

Of how life once had been and such heat

In the crushed chirr of locusts rubbing

The high grasses of a child's road

And the summer was unending

The days refused to close and I played

Savage and warrior, the heroic nail

Upon which worlds pitched and wobbled

Blue as newborn iron and these salt-winds

Were yet to blow and sink corrosive teeth

Into my stolid spine and my stiffened ribs

That could take the golden weight

Of a thousand destinies

Where are you now, my unlined faces

On those rich sighing summers

When we gods ruled feral the wilding

World? Hollow husks turning on

Threads of tired silk so lost in my wake,

And you that run with me in the blind

Stampede - this charge we cannot turn

And the sea awaiting us waits with its

Promise of dissolution, the fraying of

Youthful days, the broken nails, the sagging

Ribs - the summers drifting away and away

And forever away.

Broken Nail's Lament
