Evaporating
into everything,
and nothing at all.
The road to happiness: Perseverance, Endurance and a whole lot of Hope.

Puzzling! This poet does not wish for "visitors." I think. I like them short, although I too often get long-winded. jim

I think he wants "visitors". Done hiding and ready to emerge from his sheild. To show he is not the legacy left for him, he is better.

This poem is dealing with the fact that my father abandoned me, and that I have no contact with my own children. I used the word supplicants to represent the fact that no matter what happens between parent and child, the child in some way feels humbled by the parent. Lessened maybe, at least that is my feelings or lack there of on this subject.

Ezra Pound would have loved this poem as do I.

T.Y. dadio, I enjoyed explaining it far more than I enjoyed Writing IT.

I dug your poem a lot.

After reading your comments I was reminded of Jan Kerouac, as if she had wrote it.
