Now mind is clear <br />as a cloudless sky. <br />Time then to make a <br />home in wilderness. <br /> <br />What have I done but <br />wander with my eyes <br />in the trees? So I <br />will build: wife, <br />family, and seek <br />for neighbors. <br /> <br />Or I <br />perish of lonesomeness <br />or want of food or <br />lightning or the bear <br />(must tame the hart <br />and wear the bear) . <br /> <br />And maybe make an image <br />of my wandering, a little <br />image—shrine by the <br />roadside to signify <br />to traveler that I live <br />here in the wilderness <br />awake and at home.<br /><br />Allen Ginsberg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-desolation-2/
