The Amulet
Before the Indians
became
Indians
before
Germany
had lost
the war
TWICE
lived a man
whose hands made in clay
this emblem
of his faith
To protect him
on his pilgrimage
or from
robbers
snakes
and ghosts
in general
I do not know
but I find myself here
some
350 years later
wondering
about the many things
it must have witnessed
- the many mundane events
it must have been part of
and what is
still
in store for it.
