Walking Hadrian's Wall

Come follow me
along this sinuous trail
across dramatic hillscape

unfettered views
to unclaimed Barbaria
beyond Britannia

watch with me
upon the emperor's wall
for invading spirits

join me and listen
to Roman voices
in these heaped-up stones

grousing about
history's wild guesses
of frontier life-in-exile.
