Pilgrimage
Valley of the Isolated Tree 16 August 1916
Crouched in ambush
in these twisted
internal passages
among broken things
hour on hour
I've dragged
a husk
through the mud
an old shoe sole or
a seed of spiny whitethorn
Ungaretti man
of pain
an illusion
is enough to give you heart
Out there
in the fog
a searchlight
creates a sea
