Journey to the West (in honor of Herman Hesse)
Journey to the West
this sightly, seemly road
we’ve
set out upon: at times
most
bewitching, at others merely
a dull trudging, day
to similar day, no new thing done nor mountain known,
one unrefreshed, thirsting
for some unnameable liquid. (let us state, for the
record, that Lamb’s blood and milk left only that
thirst)
at times, to the side
of our path,
or before, we can see
shapes,
vague intimations of some goal, or ending-place.
…Shapes that sway
in the fog of a moonless night; peripheral phantoms,
never quite visible, straight on.
At times i think the journey means more than its end.
Without this shifting, dimly-seen path–where would we
go?
