Intrepid wanderer, endlessly searching for the story of you,
Oblivious to the scattered clues you’ve dropped behind,
We trail you through the forest,
Hungry field mice
Eagerly gathering the bread crumbs and
sprouted seeds of your existence,
storing them up for the winter.
And still you go hungry.
~Laura Young, 2005

This is a song that has meant a lot to me over the past few years, and runs parallel to your poem.
