Now I knew
I lost her -
Not that
she was gone -
But Remoteness
travelled
On her Face
and Tongue.
Alien, though
adjoining
As a Foreign
Race -
Traversed she
though pausing
Latitudeless
Place.
Elements
Unaltered -
Universe the
same
But Love's
transmigration -
Somehow this
had come -
Henceforth
to remember
Nature took
the Day
I had paid
so much for -
His is Penury
Not who
toils for
Freedom
Or for
Family
But the
Restitution
Of Idolatry.
