Road

Road, Don Paterson ' Traveller, your footprints are the only path, the only track: wayfarer, there is no way, there is no map or Northern star, just a blank page and a starless dark; and should you turn round to admire the distance that you've made today the road will billow into dust. No way on and no way back, there is no way, my comrade: trust your own quick step, the end's delay, the vanished trail of your own wake, wayfarer, sea-walker, Christ. (after Antonio Machado) '
