Thirty years

Thirty years of war
prisoner to an aesculapian eye
whom excised all that I held in my heart
laid silence on my prayer-tongue

Each starless night, bare-foot
across hills of mordant slag
I searched for that arcane path to the moon
that I too might see
above an airless wasteland
rising against the black

the far-flung Earth again
