Gird thyself, for you will be taken where you would not go:
INFANT CIRCUMCISION PROCEDURE
Will ye walk aways with me, [my friend]? Not far;
A year or two, at ending of your time.
We’ll not talk. Nor tell the bitter of the years.
Maybe laugh, occasional; or find a cause for tears;
Or something lost, could be, we both might find.
Will ye set a spell with me, [my friend]? Not long;
A minute measured by your length on earth.
We’ll pass a look or two; we both will know
And understand the feeling, so when we go
We’ll take comfort that we kin the other’s worth.
Will ye linger at our leaving, [my friend]? Just for me.
Lingering reassures and comforts us who part.
Memories of it help to slow the quickened tears
With recalling of you, in later years;
And soften some, the haunting of the heart.
Forrest Carter
