The story behind the poem - Tale of a Heart and Soul

Poetry:

Tale of a Heart and Soul

This is a strange story (or stories)

say the least

where I was very angry old man again

Garmisch, Germany, back in '73 -.

We walked together in the surrounding hills

and so, discovered two boys -

silver-white hair, maybe three or four

Years, playing with a wolf

He was calm, happy, very happy ....

"Awe," said the old man with fear and defiance,

OnlyWhat have we here? "

Spooked that he was in awe

angry at God knows what!

He told me, irritating: "If I do

Animal Wolf, I would be very wild, free and happy!

I wish I wish I could! "

And I think sometimes when we

wish hard enough, God gives us only

that what we want, but should not ...

perhaps a lesson to be learned

if the customer is to be hoped by others.

And then, suddenly, theThe old

was calm, peaceful, happy, sing a song

I want to play with the boys, he warned,

as if he really knew her ...!

(Something was wrong);

then the big bad wolf, he attacked -

me, perhaps (I thought at the time)

It was the old wolf skin

and inside the wolf man

and the wolf had killed him,

I shot the wolf ...!

Because if so, maybe the man got his wish and envy got his revenge, one of the seven deadly sins.

History

Here, for the first time in print, the story behind the poem "Tale of a Heart and Soul" is, as mentioned, the Poet Laureate,and author, Dennis L. Siluk.

November, 1970.

Village of Garmisch in Germany in a little valley surrounded by mountains. A focus on the many jumps, hills and meadows of the valley, the valley with a population of at least five thousand, the provision of churches, few hotels and pensions. No movies. The only way you can find the traveler on his way to the valley in winter, in car, the train goes through October.

The hotel issmall and clean, the rooms are not heated well, not much more we can say that even if you have a bar in the back, and the architecture is an old German Bavarian look. A man called Ski (in short: he was Polish) once a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army, retired and widowed and now lives in Augsburg, Germany for the last seven years. He is five feet nine inches tall. He is in great condition and looks younger than he. It has a nice square chin,his face with blue eyes and a mouth without a smile when he is angry, irritated or just click just mad that forms rapidly in darkness, and the seeds for hours.
Rarely, will smile, but sometimes a smile is Cleaver. The secret of his youthful appearance, not his physical prowess, not his wit nor his words sharp, sometimes strange, if not mysterious, they can be, but wrinkle mannerisms of his lack of tolerance (of his face, his Face of boy), he shaved, and hisHair is always maintained, quick and perfect cu. The color of her skin is milky white and smooth, he constantly groom.

They had met each other on the compound Reese (a U.S. military base) on his small PX (store for military personnel) through a mutual friend at the piano, Bruce Kleiner, a boy in southern North Carolina. He thought that might be interested in Garmisch, Germany would cooperate, maybe skiing or simply for a holiday weekend, because we both like to travelaway, have a few drinks and pensions. I met him, was an angry man, skiing, and had a reputation as a thief, but I was very interested, and yet has so much in terms of Germany, as I could, and They a good opportunity I thought companies and someone who knows the area with me. Garmisch and I had in mind. He was often disrespectful to someone experienced or someone she loved about him, and when I noticed, had few friends. Hesuggested going to Garmisch in November - which was in August. He said it was premature, but I would think. During this period there was an ongoing investigation on him and a robbery at the big PX Augusta Were military officials, watched carefully, we expect the clothes he wore for the robbery Involved, made $ 3,000 dollars, worth of stolen towels. Anyway, I promised to keep updated and informed on the subject.

And so it happened that I foundI was a cold November afternoon ski on this hill covered with light air patches of frost and snow, a cold winter in Garmisch valley between us and a friendly farm on the side of us. For most, this' s Weekend in nothings winter I learned to ski.

Ski-stone was still on the floor, a bottle [Jack Daniel's whiskey] in a side pocket to hold his intestines warm. We had a fence in front of us, something absent if returnedhis body as if from time to time, as if he were playing chess. There were figures standing in the distance between the farm and we were behind the fence. Both ski and I stepped out of the dirt road, closer to the fence to look better.

DS: The great thing in its place, we are almost alone here.

Skiing: There is no snow, wait a few weeks, here is the whole of Germany, skiing or a retreat for the weekend.

DS: I never downhill skisbefore.

Skiing: Want to start learning?

DS: you are to me a lesson?

Skiing: perhaps we see who these numbers are like that.

(What I found, these figures were made of two boys of about four years, silver-white hair, dizygotic twins, and a large wolf that had Bell playing with each other, a large cow with those who had followed, and stood nearby. They must be less than twenty meters from the fence, made ofus. They waved to us, and randomly play back. I think I took an honest snapshot in my mind that it is strange for such a scene. It seemed that children were aware of the danger that lay before them, or was aware that we were not aware of any danger.)

A small trigger for skiing, I think that is what you call this, or this is the beginning.

DS: cute boys! (The cow is in motion.)

Skiing: Cutenothing ... a wolf is never gentle with two boys, can not tame, and is not a domesticated wolf.

DS: There seems to be the victims. It looks tame (I wanted to do was say, "Look ... more dangerous than the wolf," but I do not.)

Skiing: A Nasty Wolf (to be precise, he says, is that a domesticated wolf, not willing to keep a wild wolf). I think it would have been happy before his master, met with the pathetic lookDing, roll like a cat, he is nothing but a coward. When I was ...! (The moves have had because I felt the big cow bell around her neck.)

If I wolf the little boys was torn, and someone looking for small coffins.

DS: It 's rather a view on things?

Ski: I wish I could be teeth Wolf 's Place ... they just look, and muscle, and loose my soul, give the heart and not take his place, wild and free,like the old cow with a bell, here's how I feel right now. But no pets.

(Around the fence, and in light green and brown patches of grass and snow, the ground was hardening, the present winter, a light wind touched the cheeks of the two men was the sound of a low growl of a sharp hiss. I saw the Wolf look deeply, see more kids playing busy, dark eyes of the wolf in the snow shines warm winter afternoon quiet, harmless as it seemed. Ilistening to the sounds of nature, winter, and birds in the vicinity of large cow - and its heavy reverb sound, deep resonance frequency sound from the bell tower, the breath of the wolf - his intensity and s cowardly ' Ski rumored.)

Skiing: The wolf is free, no problem, wild and allowed, because it is expected it is his nature, I wish I could make a connection type! I wish wish wish!

All ground (it is not large) all know, at leastof view. There was no reason why I thought at that time because he was so perhaps something like a joke, but he was putting body and soul in his application, now that I think. But I repeat there is no reason, I thought then, why would one wish - even if he is an angry man.

(Ski was smart and calculating, and chose his words to hurt or be witty cripple its victims. I was left alone, maybe I was his equal in battle, and one of its ownFriends - otherwise I lose, too, and I have none. He loved to fight, to create chaos. It seems that he inherited a bad mood, but in January we had been together in Monaco in October for the feast, and on the train, he started a fight with one of the officials, and in the bathroom of a beer tent at the festival, started a fight and effort just seemed to be part of his shadow. One thing I tried to avoid, and often tried to calm, if not defeat, so quiet. He spoke in an armynegative way. And I have a headache. In any case, was skiing with views of the wolf and two children. He regretted what he had in life. Sun motivation to lose the human race.)

I came to learn a lot from him in recent months. Smart, hard, hateful, thief, and now I was to know Garmisch. He had in the past when it comes to me to only talk about problems. I thought he was drunk, but not half as much as I drink. He also wantedI had the bandages that he had stolen from the PX. The 'say no' for his seemingly friendly gesture, and was taken a touch, I really hurt her feelings. But here we were both standing behind a fence watching a stupid cow, and its bells, and two children playing with a wolf and cross-country in a sort of trance.

DS: Uh-huh. Let us lift and a higher, then look across the valley?

Cross: I mean, mind and heart, myConnecting with the nature of the Tier I Wolf, who was a secret to keep. I never said before Wolf, for all - I should never have been born in, said Bruce, my best friend.

DS: What do you think?

Cross: God I was wrong. I believe that murder is in the sky, the dull eyes of the wolf are not wild.
What I saw was not what he apparently saw the two boys sitting on the floor playing in peace. This was a vehicle of his, his invention, if this root cause. Must be a joke or a fool, I told myself. I had to beat my face to wake up to face this charade. Why? I told him: "I do not think so, no, I know you'm wrong." He was to tell me.

- At a time when it was quiet. As if you connect with the animal (as if someone had kicked in, and opened a door and jumped through it ...). I said not to talk so silly and surprising and smiled saying, "Do not worry."

> Skiing: Bach, you'll love the river, enjoying the fresh cool clean water. (He said in a low, smooth voice and almost humble.)

DS: Of course I never thought that in a stream, but that sounds reassuring. In fact, you never said that before. (Did not, I would learn later, for he had never known in a neighborhood, just know the long-time resident of the desert or an animal) would

It 'was likeWhen the wolf almost hear ... skiing!

DS: It is strange the wolf begins to whistle loudly, starting to rise, our children killed in skiing and you? I mean, all his calm, serenity, self-control is changing before us.

Skiing: Yes, you're right (he muttered, then "... sometimes, if you ask Oh, not really understand what you want.")

DS: (Strange, I thought then, what ski said, now is part of the wolf calmly subjective), I think something will happen, we try to better protect children?

(The image, four of them, the cow in the background, the bell ringing, ringing, and keep all attention on growing alarm: The wolf dark red and shiny black eyes now. Ski with a dove and dark meat as eyes, quiet me, I'd never seen that. It seemed a fine line between the animal and its > Ski, a line that I hoped no further - a sort of unknown intensity, grew on one thing I knew was not going to happen. Something has been canceled. The eyes of the wolf looking like beacons. I wish I had a guillotine - so I thought ((cut the head of this intensity)), but I have my 38 special (revolver), hidden in his pants and shirt, attached to my belt on the left side, for emergencies. The animal was not lying, it was on all fours. E> Cross was only their cheerful, except for the blinking of the eyes, face, his calm, his heart rate does not seem to have taken a comma, not violence at all about her, almost innocent pallor circled, only the eyes , soft eyes. Ski bent the fence watch as the wolf over, and the wolf on it.)

At first I saw only a jump shadow climbed the fence. Then a whistle and two forms on the floor somewhere around three meters from me. He,Ski Wolf killed, ran back to two boys, I'm cursed for not reacting more quickly. My eyes have seen the attack, and then saw him flee. But when I press my head, I pulled my 38-gun from the holster, from the left side of me, on my belt, leather unsnapping his head safety bar (all taken so long it seemed) and shot the animal accessible to twenty meters. Indeed, the ball hit his head and was a foot away from the boys,that were just not sure if they were surprised and amazed or what.

I never understood what was happening, happening, only so, but because all this is because firstly, it is never clear, I said, is absurd, but in reality there is nothing wrong with it . My friend just had a nice clean way to his heart and soul behead eyes (his mind and will was strong in his research), a bodyMeat, a new possibility, a wolf. I repeat that the argument that I will never know, is like asking I suppose, because the devil wants to be like God I doubt that the devil you know everything.

I suspect someone say somewhere, sometimes, somewhere, will come and it is a mathematical or astrological element of this, or something psychological, or even demonic involved here - because you can not. I'm always confused by such talk. I know all I can say istalking almost invisible, so large, there is no room for natural light. Maybe sometimes God gives the fool his desire.

The bite of the beast, but cross directly under the chin, took a piece from his throat as easily as cutting through butter. It was not wrong. He loved and enjoyed what he did for a long time, not for protection or food to kill him, perhaps out of envy or revenge, lived. These are not yes and no questions, I doubt that is not complete orthe perfect solution, guess only speculate here, those minutes seemed hours before and during the attack, if not cross me, even combed his hair and cleaned up this or that, or wiped the brush shoes, pants legs against his as would normally. He remained silent, not a sad silence, but an inexplicable fact, that I met him. Only 12:00 (PM), the two boys ran to the Itsy Bitsy little house, then, the cow in the back,Ringing their bells for alarm. It was a way he killed, and I killed him too! The only thing that catches me that I was involved.

In short, I did not know the meaning of his will, although I pray that wolf. Chewing lips and frowned at the wolf, I do not take it seriously at first, which would, I thought it was just teasing her old self, but instead of at the time, strange as it may be, but I think he liked the time - wasEcstasy, and I was his witness, and this is his story. He could kill me, even after the first attack, but did not know I knew then, and now I know that was his cup of poison, his farewell letter, quick and powerful, nearly odorless.
