Envoi

So I may call myself sane, I end my part in the story.
You will find what follows blessedly bereft of me.
I stayed another year at THE SALOON.
I lived in HOTEL HOTEL until that year ended.
I left New Orleans and will never return
now that Roanoke and the art of poetry are mine
to claim, to relinquish, to be in and with, to be alive.
