AMONG the grassroots
In the moonlight, who comes circling,
red tongues and high noses?
Is one of em Buck and one of em
White Fang?
In the moonlight, who are they, cross-legged,
telling their stories over and over?
Is one of em Martin Eden and one of em Larsen the Wolf?
Let an epitaph read:
He loved the straight eyes of dogs and the strong heads of men.
