As I sit under the burning kerosene star
Of my inspiring voice
Your face begins to be transfixed
Your slender hand, limply like a grain of wheat
Is moved by some unseen spirit
A touch then!
An inciting of the asphodel to blooming!
A word escapes you...!
I have gone ahead to light the torches West
I have lit out for the frontier which we have set no thought on.
For you the day has begun anew;
For you the river has opened itself.
The greed of the first mile from town lights upon you
Here is a diner by the side of the road
I will stop for a moment, have a burger, cross the street
Reserve a room, lay my hat on the chair,
Lengthen my skeleton and sinews upon the bed
And be patient until I hear you ambling into town.
