Imagine returning from the Crusades
With enough money to build
A grand stone house, so far
In the mountains that conflict
Could never find you again.
Sitting in this courtyard,
On the uneven flagstones laid
Long ago, I like to think
They succeeded, at least
For a generation or two.
But history tells us
You can run, but you
Cannot hide. So we who hide
Must return to confront
What is happening
In the world.
