Tracks

Tracks

 

I have a friend from boyhood who is still alive

Though he was (and is) wholly imaginary 

And sometimes he’s my dead brother

Sometimes he’s a small crow 

Oh sometimes…

And I have to make up my mind what to do

What with longing and necessity 

Displaying their sagacity

Remaining alone, so very alone
