THE JOURNEY
|
|
|
Now there is a mill in my bowels, it grinds the darkness of
my years and I say nothing of the voices walking in my brain,
nor of the river we crossed the day before yesterday, its waters
flooding memory from all around - while you,
you slept and centuries rolled by as I held you and was
cold and wretched while my hand grew tired and withered -
or suddenly, a spasm in the dregs of the soul,
what did I seek, what did I hold of you?
From Stones (1972)
