YOU HAVE LOST YOUR WAY
When I went barefoot people loved me.
As long as my dwellings were banks and fields
Human affection clung to me
As moist sod clung to my toes and heels.

But then, when I got me some socks and shoes

And watched and worried my pocketbook
The near and dear who had wandered with me
Picked up and left, with averted looks

From breezy slopes to the warehouse’s stench

I traced the narrowing path of my loss
Watching the dews on the violet
Evaporate in the fire of remorse

I turned to a haunter of darkest alleys,

Seeking some clue to your new address
A watcher of lights in the city night
At every window of every house

I took to reading nameplates by matchlight

Rubbing each dusty letter clear;
I took to opening gates in the fences
Of fenced-off dwellings, till the door

Would open, and someone’s scathing voice

Cry, “No one you want is here, go away!”
Each slamming door, each light turned out
Cried, ‘” They are gone, you have lost your way.”
