A Meeting
In a dream I meet my dear friend. He has,
I know, gone long and far.
and yet he is the same for the dead are changeless.
They grow no older. It is I who has changed,
grown strange to what I was.
Yet I, the changed one,
ask: ‘How you been?’
He grins and looks at me.
'I been eating peaches
of some mighty fine trees'.
