The Hills
of Switzerland
a
fragment
“I
can be candid here.”
-
Thomas M. Disch, Camp Concentration
The air is bitter, yet the
story is bold
and a tale that I not once
before have told.
Yet the stories have
floated in my head
in days past, only to
disappear, seemingly dead.
Where was I going when
first I heard
of the stories that fired
me with the word
and image? Young enough
was I to know, but
too busy with other things
– I guess I forgot.
It's a tale of distant
places like Switzerland, yes
the land of mountains and
mists and less.
Less than one might
remember - something
long before – was an age
before the beginning.
- James Henderson, February, 2012
