Gusts on the Ridges

Rescue from "the shallow stream of time and men's affairs"
   

In the speed of the wind

Across flattened fields,

Worked earth an icy paste

Sticking to my soles,

Sins raw in the purged oaks

Raining down the dead,

I hear the voice I want to hear.

I try to get it down,

So that you won't forget,

So that I won't be forgotten.
