Oil on canvas
Couplets and stanzas
To divine who you are
Pencil portrayals and
Jealous betrayals
Get you further afar
False faces and
Meaningless chases
I travel alone
First places and
Calendar races
I need a home
Hostile hotel walls
Footfalls and phone calls
And you?re on the line
Gentle coercions and
Bitter desertions
When the truth is a lie
False faces and
Meaningless chases
I travel alone
First places and
Calendar races
I need a home
Lover twice yearly
That last battle nearly
Cost me the fight
Broke through the ice
And got cut down
To size
And escaped
Through the night
False faces and
Meaningless chases
I travel alone
First places and
Calendar races
I need a home
