WHERE WARMTH AND FURY GO, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: This is not a love I keep
Last Line: If it be bloom, if it be dust.


This is not a love I keep:
a love that lives beyond a year.
And even when I see one weep
I think, that's not for me -- that tear.

This is not a place I know:
a home, whatever a home might be.
Where warmth and fury go, I go.
There's little I want that I can see.

There's little I seek that I can find
walking the road of flame and rust,
but I am a slave of a loftier mind,
for seek I will, and seek I must,
if it be bloom, if it be dust.
