Nomad's Land

You were a nomad in all things

and every time you'd roll your caravan to town

holding a backpack and beating your drum

you'd reach out your hand

which could grip like electricity

so we'd set out together

us gypsy lovers

like birds that chase each other on the wind

and we'd **** the world with our charm

intoxicate with our savoir-faire

until the seasons changed

and you realized that howling at the moon

was a one man job

you bit and you scratched until

wailing, I threw you back into the wild

where you could have it all

your solitude and

your precious moon.

Ah, grief changes like seasons. The bitterness has arrived, n'est pas?
