Excerpt from: That Old Straw Sojourner
David Matherne

It saw with lucid eyes inhuman, divine
The tired man grew older, while his boy grew wise.
Some said, ‘So tragic,’ the son said, ‘Fate’
When the lightning left a char on the elder’s pate 15
And they both did loving before too late.
That hat...his special bequest.

So he wore his farming father’s dingy hat every day,
Hoping it would make him like his only hero in that way.
So the hat went to school, 20
Then it kept him somewhat cool
As he worked the plow and mule
Like his fallen father had.
