NEAR PROVIDENCE 9.8.21

Who was the I who

did not recognize my friend’s

face on his return?

I searched that face for

hints there in the happy home-

coming crowd. August.

My summer travels

were not the kind you come back

from and talk about.

  1. Good morning Tom. Sometimes it seems we have no choice but to travel and to keep travelling; that’s what we are: Travellers. Keep trekking on, and keep writing. All the best, John
