Gone is the day
feeling my way
I let up on the gas
and I turn
Yes, I’ve been here before
Yes, I know what
the where-for
Around this sharp corner
I learn
And above all that’s else
I discern
New quantities round
not fully found
no neat preconceptions
to intend
Still… comes the joy
yes, I am THAT boy
A man of loose years
on the mend
Happy to need not
defend
And above all that’s else
she’s a friend
A partner, a lover
a light-shining cover
The night of our day
will not end
——
Blessed…
