Travelers and Wanderers
…………………….
Ages have turned,
travelers may return
heavy bags packed with the stuffing
artifacts and foods of the East
in contentment or resentment, who knows?
…………………..
Traveler may have silted in the sultry deserts,
or slid in the creeks of the joyous mountains
wiped blades clean in salt of oceans
slippery slopes of being.
Wanderer waits for centuries to improve
as he wanders in his mind
wonders of food and mountains and sultry deserts
places unimaginable.
Perhaps a trip to corner bookstores.
Wanderer reads histories,
seeks confusion to answers- answers to confusion;
wanderer may lust for skin unimaginable
if forbidden to express the lavish gambles
of travelers.
Seeker found history
and light.
