99 When Hunker Wallen lost his mind

99                       

When Hunker Wallen lost his mind,

he went for a walk to find it again

on legs that left all doubts behind,

following each long street to the end.

 

By day we would see him in full stride

or bending to search on every side

as though the light, dropped from his face,

lay coin-like in some likely place.
