THE FUGITIVE

I'm writing and writing
line after line
to an imaginary Great Aunt
just as the legendary
Hungarian Mikes Kelemen
who had had it with Turkey
I write knowing that
Patience hath no Salvation
and I write
Impatiently
Gravely
Lining up
for the Firing Squad
for Old Times' Sake
for the Great Cabesa
but the Great Prince Rákóczy
is dead
and so is Maria Theresa
