One day after walking one day
The middle of March
I spied a young lady
Who drew first a spark
Later that night
She held out a hand
(I held on tight)
She caressed my back (and said)
“It’ll all be alright,
“you’re still here now
“that’s all that counts.
Replied ‘yea but’
“Thas all that counts”
In the restless night I’ve known
The restless poet who has sown
His vagabondish sheet
From cradle to street
What a sight for sore eyes
The mail that cuts is own lies (eyes)
Lies lies lies lies lies (eyes)
He lies (lays)
But doesn’t sleep
The cuckoo bird, well,
Doeth cheep
Or nightingale
Or owl
Which bears a ***** scowl
‘in the forests of the night’
Blakenly defying
“It’ll all be alright”
