-- For J. Edward Leavitt
One foot planted in the flame
classic pose of the Noh dance
white masque painted
with the smiles of death
Dancing flames and an empty cup
silent songs and no ceremony
The ashes in the fire
are now his bits of bone
scattered
then forgotten
* According to the legends of the Order of the Arrow, Boy Scouts of America,
“wematendienk” (part of the symbolic WWW) is derived from the
Lenni Lanape word for brotherhood. J.Edward Leavitt was my father.
