i walk alone again tonight
-
together
with my thoughts
my life
a wondering wanderer
whistling but a whisper
of secret confidence
up a downtown street
-
i remind my mind again
of strong candles soaking
through powerless nights
shadowed cards flickering
quick across the carpet
by the stair
diluting gold
that is her hair
a brush of liquid silk at night
a blade of laughter
loud and clear
-
but sharp loose wind is pushing through
my paper jacket wet and torn
walk faster now
to move the blood
toward my bed
waiting and warm
away from memories
passed on
to dreamless sleep
where wonder dies
leaves forever
with her life
-
i walk alone again tonight
