PAGE 4, THE COUGAR CRY. OCT. 31, 1967 THE RIVER Drop, Drop, Drop, Drop it falls like tears from weeping: eyes. Drop, Drop, Drop, Drop it joins and runs in tiny rivulets. Drop, Drop, Drop, Splash it plungres into small puddles that are gathering. The puddles brim. And with a gush flows the glimmering redness like a tiny river through the roots and rocks and grass. How long before they stop this flow? Must it become a Jordan before they know? Poor dead soldier boy .... Yours is a fate, I’m sorry to say, that is worse than the rest who’ve died today. Yes, your life’s expended, the dim cause defended, but none are wise of your gift to them. Now all is tame where today all was aflame. Now they’ve cleaned up the field of every man who was killed And packed them off there into old glory’s care. Poor quiet one .... With the others you paid your price when your number came up. You died just as pained as those they reclaimed. But in the place where you fell you are hidden too well, And a presumptive death is no death at all. “MISSING IN ACTION” will read the call. “Jordan is a mighty big river,” your family will sing. Henry Church THE VISIT Today I went with a friend to visit her great grandfather up near Boone. On the porch of the old house was a yellow leather sofa, piled with newspapers and assorted trash, no longer wanted in the house but still too valuable to throw away. Beside it was a woodbox, filled with pieces of logs and the fragrance of timber and sap. Through the roof could be heard the constant buzz of a drone of bees. Once inside the house I sat down in abig rocker. The tweedy- textured upholstery scratched the back of my neck. I looked around at Christmas cards tacked to the walls and letters stacked in the window sill and calendars with the months torn off and only the pictures remaining--the collec tions of a person’s life, the dor mancy of a lonely, solitary life. A rusty iron hand pump at the sink was the only plumbing. An electric range looked out of place next to an empty woodbox and a black cast-iron stove on the other side. One spot on' the oilcloth table cover was worn, while the rest looked like new. The living room, seldom used, smelled musty with dust and old books. Coffee-can planters have made rings in the furniture and the dreary plants were drooped over for the lack of water. “Cramps” proudly showed me upstairs--rooms that had once held his eleven children. Now they were so quiet, dressers and shelves still holding pictures and treasures of the inhabitants. It was as if the occupants had sud denly left and never came back. It was like walking into the past which was a very real part of the present, and strangely enough the only future of an old man.
