ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS
Sequence: 7
WAYS HE TRAVELS
the hastening traveler panting along the ways
legs stretched to race against the dark
and no friend near
has within him the ways he travels
the friend he pants toward
and all the dark that surrounds
the world his mind depicts
and the world he is in
each contain the other
and the world he invents in his unhappy haste
where distances close of themselves
and there is no parting of friends
where is that world? only within?
or is it too a feature of the world
he is running through?
