Places

 ROSES and gold
For you today,
And the flash of flying flags.
I will have Ashes, Dust in my hair, Crushes of hoofs.
Your name Fills the mouth Of rich man and poor.
Women bring Armfuls of flowers And throw on you.
I go hungry Down in dreams And loneliness, Across the rain To slashed hills Where men wait and hope for me.
