Suitcase in hand
He follows the hollow
On the side of the road
Spatters of mud
On the hem of his trousers
Perhaps brought back
From a hundred miles off
Where he was at a few days ago
He realises now he was happy there
Watchful, horrified but content
The barrel of his gun emptied
In a haystack alive with possibilities
Of murder, revenge, hatred.
